Deadline: 20-Nov-22
The Young Barnet Foundation has announced the applications for VCFSE Ukrainian Refugee Support Grant.
The purpose of this VCFSE Grants programme, which forms the second round of Barnet Community Fund funding, is to increase available outreach and engagement to help Barnet Council and the local community support Ukrainian refugees arriving in the Borough.
A number of existing services are funded by Barnet Council to assist refugees arriving in the Borough, and this fund does not seek to duplicate those existing services.
Rather, this fund seeks to work with Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise organisations to see where they can provide additional support.
This can be in the form of providing support to projects aimed at Ukrainian Refugees which have already commenced, or new projects which organisations wish to commence having identified a new requirement.
One of the key aim of this fund is to help organisations provide activities which provide engaging social activities, to help Ukrainian Refugees adjust to new surroundings/integrate into the community and to make them feel welcome.
