The Allen Lane Foundation - Social Cohesion Programme
Summary
The Social Cohesion programme supports grassroots organisations at a very local level (housing estate or distinct community) where there are issues which identify marginalised groups of people who are excluded.
The aim of the new programme is:
- To proactively work towards building better community cohesion and trust, and encouraging respect and understanding in the local area
- To proactively promote the inclusion of marginalised groups and individuals in the life of the local community
- To fund work which breaks down barriers and tensions in the local community thereby reducing feelings of division and “them and us”.
They can support actions which are new or may have been tried before or are on-going, however, the work must have lasting benefits for those people the projects are aimed at.
