Deadline: 26-Mar-24
Applications are now open for the Re-Rooted funding Program to help organisations address the challenges and support refugees and asylum seekers to safely and securely rebuild their lives in the UK.
Research has highlighted the strengths in the UK refugee and migrant sector, which include quality frontline services, delivered by a committed and skilled workforce. It also includes key influencing work that has significantly shaped policy and practice. Through this funding, they want to help organisations build on these strengths.
Funding Priorities
- This funding is for organisations that specialise in supporting refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. Successful applicants to the Re-Rooted funding call will be offered flexible, core funding to continue and reinforce the good work of their organisation.
- Proposals should focus on the following:
- Services and support for refugees and asylum seekers.
- Influencing and advocacy focusing on safer routes and improved outcomes for refugees and asylum seekers.
- Or a combination of both.
- They also welcome proposals that are tailored to the needs of refugees or asylum seekers, or both.
- This funding call will prioritise organisations that involve people with lived experience of forced migration to the UK. This should include current practice in involving lived experience in developing the organisation’s work and priority areas, and/or in the running of the organisation. It could also include plans for reinforcing existing good practice for involving people with lived experience.
Funding Information
- Up to £200,000
- Funding is available for 3 to 5 years
Eligibility Criteria
- UK based organisations that currently specialise in supporting refugees and asylum seekers in the UK, and meet Comic Relief’s general eligibility criteria.

- Proposals can be made by single applicants, or by partnerships of two or three organisations that will receive funding (but only one organisation can act as grant holder).
