Awards for All Northern Ireland
Funding priority
They want to support people to bring about positive changes in their community. They’re interested in projects that improve people’s lives and strengthen community activity by:
- Helping people to participate in their communities.
- Developing people’s skills and broaden their experience.
- Building better and safer communities.
- Improving people’s physical and mental health and wellbeing.
They want all the projects they fund to embrace the two key themes of:
- People-led – This means the people you’ll be working with will be meaningfully involved in the development, design and delivery of your project. Have you spoken to people in your local community about what they need and what’s important to them? Have you listened to what they’ve said & used it to develop your project
- Strengths-based – We’d like to support people and communities to build on the knowledge, skills and experience they already have to make the changes they want. What is working well in your community? How will your project help to build on these successes and make the most of the resources the community already has?
