Equality funding: Promoting Equality and Cohesion Fund 2017-2021

The groups funded here concentrate their activities on promoting equality and tackling discrimination and prejudice.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the grant funding period due to end in June 2020 was extended to September 2021 and covered 15 months which accounts for the larger payments for the final grant year.
