Community Celebrations Grant Application
Deadline: 3rd March – 5pm
At the Scottish Refugee Council we have been busy organising a very exciting programme for Refugee Week Scotland 2014! It will run from 16th – 22nd June in venues across the country, and we’d love for as many organisations as possible to get involved this year. The 2014 theme is ‘Welcome’, so we want you to have a think about how ‘welcome’ is shown in your community.
The SRC are awarding grants of £100 – £450 to help small community organisations to organise your own events as part of Refugee Week Scotland 2014. We strongly encourage you to apply and to spread the word to any other organisations or community groups that you think may be interested!
There are two files attached below – an Application Form and Grant Application Guidance Notes. Please read them both before applying! Receiving the grant from the SRC is unfortunately not guaranteed, so to make sure you are in the best position for acceptance, we urge you to read through these Guidance Notes thoroughly. We are looking for ideas that explore the theme – ‘Welcome’ – and discuss all the different things that this word can mean. For example, your activity could:
– Explore how welcome is shown in your community
– Encourage people to share their experiences of how welcome they have been made to feel here
– Encourage people to share experiences of how they have welcomed life in Scotland
Most importantly, you must demonstrate how your event will appeal to other communities and general public, and how you plan to involve them! The Community Celebration Events are the first step towards wide-scale understanding and integration among asylum seeker, refugee and local communities across the whole of Scotland. We want to know how your event will help this become a reality!
The deadline for submission is Monday 3rd March, 5pm. Please send all completed applications to arts@scottishrefugeecouncil.org.uk
If you need help – we are happy to discuss any ideas and give advice where necessary – just email arts@scottishrefugeecouncil.org.uk.You can also browse last year’s programme for inspiration.
Good luck!
