CommUnity Grants

The CommUnity Grants Scheme aims to support local community projects or initiatives that work to support social cohesion of asylum seekers, refugees, and other migrants in St Helens that address any of the following criteria:

• Health and Wellbeing
• Informal ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)

Please note that the Culture, Creativity and Community Cohesion criteria has been removed to give a greater emphasis on projects that address the language barrier and health & wellbeing issues.

Culture, Creativity and Community Cohesion will be explored during the annual Refugee Week celebrations.

The next round of bidding is now closed and will reopen in September.
