‘Communities Together’, a community cohesion grant fund, has been launched by Leicestershire Together for projects demonstrating joint working between different and diverse communities.
Grants of up to £500 are available now for organisations and projects which are working to bring different groups of people together in Leicestershire.
The new ‘Communities Together’ grant is intended to support community and voluntary organisations who are involved in local projects which:
· play an active role in getting different communities and groups of individuals together to increase understanding and communication
· promote inter-cultural education and relations
· introduce and engage new audiences, organisations and community groups to each other.
Eligible projects will be able to demonstrate their success in increasing cohesion and understanding between people from different age, faith and belief groups or of different abilities, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity and gender.
The grant could be used to fund the promotion or development of local projects, workshops or training sessions for different community groups, consultation events, sporting events and much more.
The ‘Communities Together’ Grant Fund is open to projects operating in Leicestershire and applications will be assessed on a monthly basis.

We broadcast hit music from the last 50 years, plus specialist programmes, news and local community information, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Unlike commercial radio, 103 The Eye is a community station. This means we are a non-profit organisation. We are simply here to inform, and first and foremost entertain the people of Melton, North East Leicestershire and parts of South Nottinghamshire.
