equality and human rights, with deadlines of 19th March and 20th August.

— Encourages co-operation across religious, racial and political divides

– -Addresses poverty and social exclusion.

JRCT says it takes no position on the constitutional arrangements within the island,
but recognises the strong historical, cultural and practical links between Britain,
Northern Ireland, and Ireland.

The Trust is interested in funding work which:

–addresses the root causes of violence and injustice, rather than alleviating symptoms;

–cannot be funded from other sources;

–is likely to make a long-term, strategic difference.

Applications will be accepted from organisations in either the Republic or Northern
Ireland or joint applications.

Rowntree advice that it would be helpful if applications arrive well before the 
deadline whenever possible otherways the application may be held over until the 
next round.
