Lloyds TSB Foundation Northern Ireland has reopened its grants programme for Northern Ireland charities which carry out work within disadvantaged communities overseas.

Organisations can apply for grants up to £5,000 for smaller projects or up to £20,000 for larger projects.

Proposals should be for work in poor communities overseas which are supported by organisations with a significant presence in Northern Ireland. The scheme particularly invites applications:

* For costs associated with volunteering programmes that focus particularly on the development and transfer of skills to poor entities and communities overseas.

* Which support sustainable indigenous projects overseas that enhance local social and economic rights and autonomy. Projects encouraging social enterprise and entrepreneurism will be particularly favoured.

* For projects that help build the capacity of advocacy and civil society representative organisations overseas, that are working in areas of local basic social and economic rights

Application packs and guidance can be obtained by telephoning the Foundation on 028 9032 3000. The closing date for applications is 24 September 2010.
