Equality funding: national and intermediary bodies 2017-2021

These bodies play an important role in the policymaking process by supporting and engaging communities, and informing understanding of the issues experienced by equality groups. In a number of cases they also provide support to frontline services.

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.
