The programme will fund four community based projects or services in Belfast and outside the city with grants up to £30,000 over two years.
The themes for the major grants programme are:
• Family projects with a compelling angle
• Foodbank projects
• Furniture recycling for people in need
• Emergency help (crisis support)
• Homestart (particularly if dealing with unusual issues)
• Bereaved children and/or young people
• Children and/or young people with life-limiting illnesses
• Cyber bullying
Showcasing “four excellent organisations”
Comic Relief’s grants programme, which is administered in Northern Ireland by the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland, says it wants to showcase four excellent organisations in Northern Ireland that are bringing about positive and lasting change in the lives of poor and disadvantaged people. Comic Relief says they are looking for unusual projects with high public relations potential.
If organisations have a current grant directly from Comic Relief or a Comic Relief Local Communities grant through the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland they are not eligible to apply for this grant programme.
Applications forms are available on the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland website. Emailed applications should be returned by 1pm on Friday 22 May 2015.
