The Hate Crime Awareness grants programme is providing voluntary and community groups across Bury with the opportunity to apply for up to £1,000 to invest in activities taking place during the Greater Manchester Hate Crime Week taking place 4 – 11th February 2023.
Priorities
-
Priority will be given to:
- Partnership applications where 2 or more groups will work together.
- Projects which show an awareness of more than one strand of hate crime.
- Projects which can show a tangible product at the end which can then be re-used e.g. hate crime awareness resources such as posters, film clips, music, artwork, presentation materials and research documents and findings etc.
- Funding can be used to cover the cost of room hire, decorations, food, materials, equipment session workers or any reasonable costs for an activity, event or project as long as it relates to hate crime.
