Refugee Integration Awards Scheme (England)
Funded by the European Refugee Fund Phase III and with the support of the UK Boarder Agency, UnLtd - the Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs has re-launched RISE: Refugee Initiative for Social Entrepreneurs, under the name RISE Accelerator. Rise Accelerator aims to unleash and encourage the potential of refugees as social entrepreneurs.
Under the initiative grants of between £500 and £5,000 are available to small groups of refugees and individuals to set up projects that will make their communities a happier, safer, healthier and more just place as well as support refugees to achieve their full economic and social potential. The RISE programme has already funded 75 refugees, benefiting over 2000 people around England. The success of the project has allowed UnLtd to extend the RISE programme for another two years. Unltd will also provide dedicated support including; training opportunities, tools and resources to ensure you develop your own skills as well as helping you develop your project. The scheme will aim to fund and support a further 64 projects over the next two years. Applications can be made any time....
