Grants up to £2,000 for projects that assist Ukrainian guests with their wellbeing, independence, skills and integration with local communities.
The money, allocated by central government, could be used to provide a range of services and activities and the council particularly welcomes applications from organisations that provide support in the following areas:
- English language development
- Mental health and wellbeing
- Integration into local communities
Bids are invited from charities, volunteer and community groups benefiting the displaced people they are supporting.
Organisations are invited to apply for up to £500 for a one-off event, or up to £2,000 to establish new services or extend an existing one.
The fund has been set up primarily to support people arriving from Ukraine, but the projects could be widened to include displaced people from other countries.
The fund will close early if oversubscribed.
