Preventing violent extremism

Community grants to help prevent violent extremism.

We are one of 70 council areas to receive funding to help prevent violent extremism. The funding is from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and is for 3 years.

This information tells you how to apply for a grant. You can download an application form and other useful documents below.

Applications are invited for projects that address 1 or more of the following objectives:

• Support to help prevent vulnerable people from being influenced by radical violent ideology
• Support to help vulnerable young people become better engaged with established groups, role models or structured activities
• Projects to support women to develop relationships with their children and wider communities to make their best contribution.
• Projects to enable the inclusion of excluded groups – whether by ethnicity, faith or gender – by capacity building and joint projects.
• Training to develop the awareness of the risk, causes and signs of radicalisation amongst service providers
• Development of mutual understanding, trust and respect between communities
• Projects to assess and address the impact of national and international events on the local community

The deadline for applications is noon on 12 September 2008. A multi-agency panel will make a decision about which projects are successful after that date.
