Community Cohesion

Nottingham City Council has opened the Large, Medium and Small Community Cohesion and Hate Crime grant application process

Applications are now open for our three grants which are:

• One-off grant of up to £100K for two years to support one Voluntary and Community Sector organisation or a partnership of organisations with the strategic coordination of community cohesion across the city
• Medium grants of up to £7,500 to deliver activities that promote cohesion and challenge hate across Nottingham city. 
• Small grants of up to £1,500 to deliver activities or one off events that promote cohesion and challenge hate across Nottingham city. 

This funding, to rebuild social trust and promote cohesion between communities has been allocated to Nottingham City by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). It is in response to the significant and widespread disorder which led to negative behaviours such as racism and islamophobia within local communities in England in July and August 2024.

These grants are designed to help Nottingham City address and reduce hate crime/incidents, and improve community relations, understanding and cohesion between local people.
