Liverpool City Council is creating a new plan to bring communities together and prevent future unrest following the widespread disorder last summer. We want local voluntary, community, and faith groups to join us in shaping this strategy.
As we prepare to develop this strategy, we have received £57,000 from HM Government to support local projects. We invite voluntary, community, and faith groups in Liverpool to apply for funding to run small projects in their communities.
Liverpool based VCF organisations can apply for a one-off grant up to a maximum of £2,500. Eligibility criteria and a list of project examples are provided within the Grant Specification available here.
Organisations will be required to feedback to us what has been delivered, and play an active role in shaping the cohesion strategy throughout 2025. This might be through a written submission, a survey, or an informal meeting/conversation, whichever suits your organisation and community.
We welcome involvement from both long-established and recently established groups across the city.
- Helps communities to respond to periods of tension through initiatives that strengthen connections, promote unity and shared values.
- Supports local partnerships in building stronger and more connected communities by funding projects in at-risk areas.
- Equips communities to challenge extreme narratives and ideologies that create division.
- Brings communities together to improve cohesion and reduce divisions in places facing extremism challenges.
