The Department for International Development (DFID) has announced The Global Community
Links programme, which will help support UK community groups forging links with 
communities in the world’s poorest countries.

The programme, managed by the British Council, will offer workshops and grants to
community groups such as scout troops, Women’s Institutes and church groups who 
have forged links with developing countries. DFID is offering £3 million over three
years to help local groups to strengthen their global link, learn and share knowledge
about global development issues, or involve other people and other community groups
in their link.
