Not for profit organisations that promote positive interaction between different groups in order to counter xenophobia, racism and Islamophobia can apply for funding through this funding programme.

Through its Migration Programme, the Barrow Cadbury Trust want to fund grassroots groups working with refugees, asylum seekers, undocumented migrants and other marginalised migrants.

The Trust seeks to enable grassroots groups to support the most vulnerable migrants as well as empowering migrants to ensure they are not excluded from the public debate on migration.

They are particularly interested in:

• work promoting positive interaction between different groups in order to counter xenophobia, racism and Islamophobia. This could include the identification of spokespeople, both Muslims and non-Muslims, to challenge extremism and promote a liberal, inclusive sense of national identity. It could also include highlighting promising practice and practical examples of where integration has worked within communities.

• supporting migrant organisations, campaigners and others to influence national policy and promote the fair and dignified treatment of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants, particularly undocumented migrants.

• ensuring a broad range of voices is heard in the debate about migration and integration, including those affected by injustice.

• supporting work to deepen understanding of public attitudes and concerns about immigration and integration and develop appropriate responses.

• funding research and policy work on discrete areas of public policy with a view to developing fair and workable solutions to policy challenges.

No minimum or maximum grant amount is specified.

Potential applicants should in the first instance complete an online enquiry form and the Trust will aim to respond within 10 working days.
