In partnership with Comic Relief, Voice4Change England (V4CE) has created the ‘Race Equality and Infrastructure Flexible Fund’ which aims to improve infrastructure provision at both a local and regional level across five regions in England, supporting Black and Minoritised Ethnic (BME) organisations to develop and to address race inequality whilst advancing V4CE’s strategic aims.

​

Are you a BME infrastructure organisation in any of these regions in England?

•                East of England

•                East Midlands

•                North East

•                South East

•                Yorkshire and the Humber

​​

Grants of up to £50,000 are available for 1 year for BME infrastructure organisations within these five regions. The fund will support core costs only for infrastructure/capacity building services. We will only fund organisations to deliver infrastructure services and we will expect applicants to have a track record of building capacity with BME frontline organisations.

​

V4CE plans to work in collaboration with successful applicants to enable better infrastructure and reach locally and regionally.

​

We are holding an online information session on 9th January 2025 at 12.00pm. 

​

Applications open at 12pm on Thursday 19th December and close at 5pm on Friday 24th January.
