In its 2017 report the UKCF noted:
- During the year, UKCF partnered with M&C Saatchi to deliver the grants element of the Home Office’s counter extremism programme ‘Building a Stronger Britain Together’ (BSBT). This is a significant programme for UKCF and the network. The Home Office’s objectives are to support civil society and community organisations who work to create more resilient communities, stand up to extremism in all its forms and offer vulnerable individuals a positive alternative, regardless of race, faith, sexuality, age, and gender. UKCF is working with 9 community foundations, who are acting as regional leads to deliver grants across England and Wales.
- The Home Office gave initial approval for grants of over £1.3 million to 44 groups across the UK in Round 1 of BSBT, launched in September 2016. Grants have now been awarded to almost of all these groups, with a few held back pending further due diligence.
- In Round 2, launched in January 2017, community foundations put forward 87 eligible groups, applying for over £2.7 million for consideration from the Home Office. At the time of writing applications were undergoing review by the Home Office.[1]
