Part of the Nottingham City Council Community Cohesion and Hate Crime grants, offering a major opportunity for local organisations to help strengthen community ties and tackle hate across Nottingham.
This funding, to rebuild social trust and promote cohesion between communities, has been allocated to Nottingham City by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). It is in response to the significant and widespread disorder which led to negative behaviours such as racism and Islamophobia within local communities in England in July and August 2024.
These grants are designed to help Nottingham City address and reduce hate crime/incidents and improve community relations, understanding and cohesion between local people.
Cohesive communities are places that:
- Offer a common vision and a sense of belonging for all
- Positively value diversity
- Provide equal opportunities to people from different backgrounds and
- Provide an environment where strong and positive relationships can be developed between people from different backgrounds
There are three sizes of funding pots available:
- Small grants of up to £1,500 for short term one off events, subject to more streamlined approval approach
- Medium grants of up to £7,500 for medium term programmes of activities, training, volunteering opportunities, etc.
- Large grants of £100K - see here for more information on the large grants
