Grant to address Forced Marriage and Honour Based Violence and Abuse in the Community

As part of its continued commitment to raising awareness, reducing and ultimately preventing Forced Marriage/Honour Based Violence and Abuse, Manchester City Council is aiming to provide investment in 2017/18 through the Directorate for Children and Families to Voluntary, Community Sector, not for profit and faith sector organisations to further address this issue.

Applications for funding can be from a consortium or individual organisations, but they must be based in Manchester and working with Manchester people. The funding can only be offered to one consortium/ individual organisation and cannot be split between bidders. Applications from groups working together in a partnership will require one organisation acting as the lead, accountable organisation.

Manchester City Council has £10,000 to address Forced Marriage and Honour Based Violence and Abuse in the city of Manchester. The full funding of £10,000 will be awarded to one successful applicant or consortium to provide the delivery of a project that will address the cycle of abuse that victims suffer and a safe place where victims can discuss and make sense of their experiences to enable them to progress. The successful applicant will be expected to deliver the programme between November 2017 and March 2018.

Applications are welcomed from groups working in partnership who have a specific remit or interest around FM/HBVA. Manchester City Council are seeking applications for funding from Voluntary, Faith, Not for Profit and Community Sector services / organisations that are specifically pro-active in working with communities with direct experience of FM/HBVA.

Applications should to be returned to: [email protected]
