RE-IMAGINE ME CIC |
Re-Imagine Me CIC operates in north Solihull which is an area of deprivation that has it's socio-economic challenges. The aim of Re-Imagine Me CIC is to give people with a dual diagnosis of mental health and addiction, the tools to enable them to live a better everyday life. We deliver this though a holistic programme of support that looks at the whole person instead of the symptoms. This support incorporates fitness sessions, health and wellbeing advice, support groups and 1 to 1 sessions. Our programme of support enables people to manage their triggers, improve their mental health and reduce their dependency on substances. Over 70% of service users are aged between 16-25, unemployed and involved in criminal activity. These people are not financially able to afford gym memberships and local fitness classes. There is also the stigma of attending local gyms where they are known as users. Notwithstanding the risk to people attending who are involved in gang activity, or owe drug dealers money. They want the opportunity to access fitness sessions in a more private setting, where they feel safer and more welcome. Our fitness sessions offer local people that privacy as the service is specifically targeted for people with a dual diagnosis and not accessible to everyone in the community. It allows people to come along and engage without judgment. Those on detox and treatment plans are gently exposed to fitness which can be adapted to meet their needs. This is also the case for those on medication to better manage their mental health by participating in physical activity. We deliver 90 minutes of circuit based fitness that will include participants working individually as well as working in twos and groups. This helps to promote team work which will foster communication, team building skills and confidence in interacting with other people. Long term this helps people to build social networks as well as increase their cardiovascular fitness, body image and self esteem. We also deliver a 60 minute support group straight after the fitness session should young people need signposting to external agencies such as housing, sexual health or benefits advice. It also promotes peer to peer support. |

APTITUDE ORGANISATION CIC |
The project I started around 2 years ago was to offer young people the chance to have a football training session and a competitive game of 5 a side football in the local Goals junior league. The focus of the project is to offer positive outcomes to young people that may have negative influences in their lives, i.e. risk of crime or gangs, drugs, mental health. We do this by enabling them to be a part of a team, gain that sense of belonging that they might get from other negative influences, and offer support with anything they may need help with in life. We have had successful players take part in the sports leadership course which helps encourage them to develop key leadership skills over the course. The leadership skills they develop can be used in all walks of life and will only help them succeed in the future. We then offer voluntary positions with in our organisation so they can gain experience with us in a youth work and sports coaching position, which in turn helps them mentor new young people coming into the organisation, and give back to their community. We help them gain their DBS and attend any courses that will be beneficial to them with their goals in the future. Any Young people who are interested in becoming a coach we can also help gain their FA level 1 coaching qualification. We would then have them coach a junior football session and manage that team in the junior goals league. The young people currently I have on the project have been with us for around 3 years now and will soon be starting in the adult goals league, we have managed to keep the young people engaged with us and will continue engaging and helping them to achieve these goals. |

COVENTRY BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB |
Coventry Boys and Girls Club have been providing activities for children and young people since 1935 and had a permanent in the heart of Coventry from the 1960’s. the focus of our work is to provide affordable, accessible high-quality sports and activities for those living in the most deprived communities. Our work is focused on bring young people together from all over Coventry and building relationships between these young people where normally postcode rivalry would exist. By bringing the children to our centre we are taking them out of their communities into a neutral venue where children can be children. Our service and provision are also aimed at keeping children and young people off the street where otherwise they may engage in crime or be exploited by gangs. We know from our long history that if young people are engaged in regular activities they are less likely to be engaged in the above. We also know there is a pandemic currently where many young people in the poorer neighbourhoods are being recruited by gangs to run drugs for easy money. On top of this young people are a major source of anti-social behaviour and due to lack of opportunities and services are bored in their local community and thus why they cause ASB. Through all our provision we work with children and young people on the mental health, and this is done by monitoring them and where we see issues we address them. CBGC also have a specific boxing section which is registered to England Boxing and provide social and competitive boxing for girl’s boys and adults. This is overseen by our head boxing coach and a team of volunteers who provide this provision three evenings per week. |

LONGFORD SHORT FOOTBALL |
In 2018 thanks to a West Midlands Active Citizen Grant we Actively Engaged through our Monday evening Short Football sessions with 120 local Youths/Young Adults in the Longford area from June-November 2018. Some of these young people had already disengaged & were on the fringes of drugs/crime but they continued to attend our sessions due in the main to the positive influence of one of their friends named Jaydon James who attended our project when he was younger. After being mugged in August 2018 Jaydon returned to our sessions in October 2018 with a renewed love for football then one month later he tragically lost his life through Knife Crime. Unbelievably 4 months earlier another of our former players Daniel Kennell also died through Knife Crime. So as a dedication to both young men, Will, one of our coaches designed an Anti-Knife Slogan GRAB-A-FOOTBALL NOT-A-KNIFE. On Good Friday at University Square we erected our Short Soccer Street Stadium and staged a GRAB-A-FOOTBALL NOT-A-KNIFE event in Memory of Daniel Kennell/Jaydon James under the Shadow of the Knife Angel. The emotional event was attended by over 100 family members/friends of both Daniel/Jaydon and our GRAB-A-FOOTBALL NOT-A-KNIFE Message had a profound impact on everyone present. Our GRAB-A-FOOTBALL NOT-A-KNIFE Crusade was featured on ITV Central News and was also filmed by Coventry Culture 2021Team and included in the powerful Youth Events around the Knife Angel video they posted on YouTube. The awful tragic loss of these 2 young men galvanised our coaches/players making us determined to make a difference with our Anti-Knife fight & after securing grant funding we delivered over 20 Outreach sessions/seminars within the marginalised/Crime Hotspots of Wood End/Henley/Bell Green during which we hooked a number of young people into our project encouraging them to steer away from negative influences such as crime, drugs & alcohol. 10 of these players now attend every session & are so dedicated to our project that we plan to help them achieve FA Level 1 coaching qualification developing their Life/Employability Skills. In fact one of these young players named Adam has just secured a full-time football coaching apprenticeship after being mentored/trained by several of our experienced FA qualified coaches over the past 12 months. Since 1993 our project has signposted a number of talented players to local Semi-Pro clubs such Sphinx FC/Coventry Utd/Bedworth Utd. We have sent over 60 youth aged players to Semi-Pro youth teams and recommended 35 to Coventry Schools. Also 18 of our players have went onto join various professional clubs with one being selected for England Schoolboys U18 squad and another for Northern Ireland Schools U18’s. Further evidence that our project helps young people develop Life Skills & Employment opportunities was when in June 2006 we had a number of very talented 15/16 year olds at Longford Short Football so after we played a friendly against Henley College U18 Academy and drew 4-4. John Woodward the Head coach invited 10 of my players to take Sports related courses from September 2006. |

ST THOMAS COMMUNITY PROJECT |
We are a samll church based project that reaches out to the local community to meet local needs and improve quality of life and life opportunities. For example we operate an independant foodbank, activities for people aged 50+ to socialise and remain active within the community, activities for families with children and activities for children and young people. We also rent out our premises for other local organisations to deliver activities that are beneficial to the community. This application is in respect of our work with children and young people in the age range 6-25. We run 3 weekly groups : Age 6-11 Age 11-16 Age 16 -25 For work specifically with these groups we employ a part time experienced youth worker, a part time support worker and 3 volunteers. We are based on an outer city housing estate where many families are disadvantaged by unemployment, education, health and social skills. Our work is well established and valued in the community and through it we aim to develop self-confidence, increase self esteem and raise aspitations. Our activities have been closed during the Pandemic for 16 months (though we maintaned some contact and activities on line. We are now opening up and slowly increasing participation in a safe environment. From September we want to delive Sports Values, a programme that uses a wide range of sports to promote positive values such as respect, teamwork, overcoming adversity, work ethic etc. We find that as a result of lockdown/self isolation children we work with have lost confidence, social skills and remain somewhat afarid. Young adults are particularly affected and their mental well being has suffered. Through this articular programme we aim to increase life skills, improve mental well being and reduce anti social behaviour. There is a follow up programme called Fit for Life which we plan to move on to in January 2022. |

Our organisation is female led and we aim to act as advocates and role models to females from the local community who want to better their health, enjoyment, and opportunities through physical activity. We want to see more people improving their health, building their skills, raising their confidence and self-esteem through physical activity. We also want to see more communities working together, tackling social problems, and improving their quality of life through exercise. |

KINGS ABC |
We started off in October 2011 to produce the area's next amateur boxers and we have achieved this by many young people taking part in an amateur boxing bout under the ABAE guide lines. Since then we have been lucky enough to work with the Police, local schools and other groups to identify vulnerable young people that need a hand in finding a positive way in their lives. We have changed so many young people's attitudes over the years and have done so by using Sport as our tool. A better mental health has also been achieved by those participating along with a healthier life style. Less teenage crime in the area is also a plus, especially when we hold some sessions over the local park and invite those young people hanging around in the park(usually up to no good) to also take part. Gaining their trust and friendship along the way |

KINGS NORTON TENNIS CLUB |
Improving Mental Health and Building Stronger Communities - We are looking to start up a new project called - "Young Minds, Health Minds", working off a similar projected we starting in 2020 for Adults. In 2020 The Club and The Head Coach has started a new project called 'Feel Great tennis!' Its aim is to improve the mental wellbeing of adults in the local community, especially those isolated due to COVID. The project officially launched in April 2021 and provides free tennis sessions for adults. It is a great way to get adults exercising, and feeling the many physcial and mental health benefits of the sport, along with having a safe space to socialize with others and meet other people in the community. We have had as many as 40 adults taking part each week, and they have really felt the benefits. Quote from one of our participants: "Thank you to you and your tennis partner. I’ve always had a mental block with sport and especially with tennis. At school the PE teacher left in exasperation saying she can’t teach me. I was always last in PE and no one ever chose me in their team. So I would bunk of PE and go to the library instead. You were kind and supportive and even managed to get me to play a team game while you only focused on my positives. You gave me tips on how to improve. I went home on a high. As an adult LGBT female muslim - I tick a lot of boxes - and belong to minority groups who don’t exercise. So again thank you for putting on this sport. I’m also off work with my health so something to do in a group and for free has helped me a lot. Thank you to your charity and thank you immensely for your time and effort. N" Our objective is to run a similar project for children, running a 1.5 hour Tennis and Multisport session a week, to improve their mental wellbeing and life skills. The session will be focused on fun, socializing and enjoyment, with less focus on improving sporting techniques. Each weekly session will be split up into 3 parts - first activity will be a specific team sport, such as Football, Handball, Ultimate Frisbee; where teamwork skills, communication and social skills will be developed, followed by tennis games that allow children to gain the many mental wellbeing benefits of the sport, such as stress relief, building self esteem and self confidence. The final part of the session will be 'Family Time', where adult family members are also encouraged to join in, and allow children to spend time with their parents playing sport. |

SPORTING YOUR FUTURES CIC |
Sporting Your Futures aims are:\n - To promote and inspire cohesion within communities across Birmingham and the Black Country - To tackle fear and shielding experienced by BAME communities\n - To tackle crime rates within our communities\n - To encourage health and wellbeing\n Our projects enable young people from various ages and backgrounds to come together and engage socially within football sport and physical activity. Through our sessions we encourage positive mental health, increase the confidence for young people and promote healthy active lifestyles and enable bonds to be made within our communities. Through our physical activity sessions, we encourage positive mental health, an increase in confidence for our young people and the promotion of a healthy and active lifestyle. Our sessions enable children to have the opportunity to maintain at least two forms of exercise a week. This is especially for those who have no access to resources and a community, where they can enjoy physical activity. Our activities include turn up and play football sessions as well as structured get active interventions, Multi-sport camps and workshops on resilience, life skills and confidence building. Previously to registering as a community interest company in 2018 we were delivering community projects as a grassroots football club Halesowen Community Rangers. Sporting Your Futures have a unique and excellent reputation of engaging young people who wouldn’t normally access sport and physical activity opportunities; and work innovatively and effectively in some of the most challenging areas of Birmingham, Sandwell and Dudley and are evidently changing the lives of young people. Through our sessions, participation has led to; • The building of more meaningful bonds and relationships within the community, promoting diversity • Decrease division within community amongst young people and provide a community of respect and tolerance • Promote diversity and unify those from various ethnicities and faiths • More young people getting involved in weekly sport sessions • Young people volunteering in the organisations Sporting Your Futures works towards reducing anti-social behaviour by allowing the youth to dictate and have an input in the planning of our sessions that we provide. It’s important for us to listen to young people especially during this difficult time so we can make a bigger impact when resuming our active play sessions. After doing this we have made the decision to hold our sessions in the areas where it is easier for the youth to get to and will help families connect with others they won’t usually connect with, break down any anti-social behaviour in the area by having multiple activities and the general health and wellbeing of the community. |

OUR COMMUNITY FOUNDATION |
After our last consultation, children & young people informed us that they wish to participate in football, BMX/ Biking & boxing type activities. On the other hand, concerns they raised included isolation, losing motivation & hope for the future. Therefore, to address these needs & wants, we have put together a sports-themed personal development programme designed to bring out the best in young people by providing them an opportunity to get active in a chosen sport along with mentoring & guidance. Through these activities we will be available to channel their energy, build their self-esteem, confidence and improve their physical & mental health. Team building challenges will be set in each sport’s set up to promote teamwork where young people can make new friends. Using sport as a tool for engagement, bespoke workshops will be delivered in short sessions alongside the sports activity & additional sessions will be delivered separately. In the separate sessions, youth workers/ mentors will work with a group of 12 young people providing support catered around their needs, providing them with the framework to push on and succeed – knowing that help is there for them and that they are no longer at a disadvantage. We envisage our workshops will cover ‘Real Talk’ sessions with role models/ real – life examples of people who have succeeded from the area, discussions around mental health & support available, short/ long-term effects of taking/ selling drugs/crime, causing anti-social behaviour, First Aid training, money management, CV Support, Interview Techniques, bike building, staying safe, covid updates, apprenticeship pathways, career advice on jobs & training opportunities delivered by professionals, supported by trusted youth workers & mentors. This bespoke package of mentoring will help develop key life skills such as teamwork, motivation, communication, self-esteem, behaviour, thought process, mental & physical wellbeing and improve young people’s employability and future prospects. Overall, our programme will cover all 5 of the outcomes as outlined; Developing Life Skills ▪ Building Strong Communities ▪ Improving Mental Health ▪ Developing Employability Skills ▪ Reducing Crime and Anti-social behaviour |

RAISING THE LEVEL CIC - HEATH BALLERZ LADIES |
Developing Life Skills We provided a sports based project engaging with young people from the age of 11-16 in response to increase rise in knife and gun crime in South Birmingham. Using sport such as boxing, football and basketball and youth work as a safe environment for the young people to talk openly about their personal experiences and views and share their fear and concerns about issue such as bullying and risk taking behaviour. We had positive feedback from both the young people and their parents/guardians. Building Strong Communities Football is used as a tool of engagement to bring young people up to the age of 25 together from diverse backgrounds (different ethnic groups and genders) to create a team that works towards one goal - creating community cohesion and stronger communities. We use football to build capacity for our young people to develop their personal, team building and employability skills. We have had some of our young participants become volunteers who have helped to deliver football sessions to younger children. This has increased their confidence and improved communication skills creating positive role models for the next generation. Improving Mental Health During lockdown we maintained contact with our young people by putting on sporting challenges via social media such as keepie uppies and skipping and also provided a weekly Sunday afternoon keep fit class over zoom and facebook which was inter-generational, aged 7 - 70 (families keeping fit together). Reducing Crime & Antisocial behaviour We provide multi-sport engagement for young people during the half term periods which involved sports such as football, basketball, dodge ball and cricket and divert young people from crime and antisocial behaviour. Sport gives the young people an opportunity to be part of a team and participate with their peer group in a positive way. Our aim is to continue to use sport to engage, challenge and develop local young people, creating a safe environment for them to express themselves and gain knowledge and skills to achieve their full potential. |

BLACK COUNTRY FOOD BANK LIMITED |
These are exceptional times for Black Country Food Bank where we are coordinating a massive increase in our core activities as we look to help to ensure that emergency food supplies and toiletries reach local vulnerable people. We are having to rapidly adapt our approach due to Coronavirus, scaling up all our operations, finding new logistical approaches and this at a time where many of our own volunteers are having to self-isolate due to the pandemic. Black Country Foodbank helps vulnerable individuals and families in crisis through the provision of emergency food and toiletry supplies while a longer-term solution is developed. The services we provide have an enormous impact on the people who use them, giving them an important breathing space at a time of great need. Our key objective is to relieve financial hardship, sickness and need for persons in the Black Country (that is the boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall), in particular but not exclusively by the provision of food and toiletries. |

TIFFIN CLUB (AKA WARWICKSHIRE CORPORATE PARENTS ASSOCIATION) |
The grant will be used in relation to our core objects, notably costs associated with mentoring, providing work & university experience, apprenticeships and tuition. One of the big problems we face is that most of our activities are based in Warwick District or Warwick University, but our clients gravitate towards Coventry for housing, creating a transport problem. As these young people do not have family to ferry them around, we find Tiffin Club spends a lot of time and money on the logistics of getting them to work/training/educational places ~ so a significant proportion of grant will go on bus passes, providing bikes, and hiring taxis. |

ANAWIM WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER |
Anawim’s website is not fit for purpose. It exists on a platform which requires specific technical knowledge to be properly maintained, so we are unable to update its content, post regular job and volunteer vacancies, or use it to promote services and demonstrate impact. This project involves the development of a new website which can be easily maintained. Our internal CRM system, CiviCRM, which holds data for our women, will be integrated with the new site, allowing us to streamline manual processes such as referrals and course registrations, freeing up capacity for staff. We will increase our income generation through advertising new projects including renting out space at the centre and individual giving. Bringing Anawim’s work to a wider audience and an improved user experience combined with more informative and engaging content will encourage more donations and interest from potential funders, partners and volunteers, as well as women seeking support. As an organisation we are currently working to create a sustainability strategy, which falls in line with Anawim’s mission and core activities. The main focus areas are: diversifying our income streams and improving visibility within the community, supporting more women through courses, drop in and outreach services, and encouraging volunteers and service users to take more ownership of the centre through higher level responsibilities. We are considering how we can sustain a high level of service with resources already in place and how we can support more women in a cost-effective way. |

MOSELEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TRUST |
MAGC has operated for over five years run by volunteers in the community. The scheme has grown and developed over this time, adapting to the changing context and needs. As an organisation and project we feel this funding has come at just the right time. MAGC is at a critical point in its development. With the recruitment last year of the first direct member of staff, leading to an increase in the awareness of available grants to support individuals and an increase in trust in the support provided - we are at a stage where we need to adapt and invest in the structures and systems to be able to thrive into the future. The funding would enable us to free up other staff time within MCDT to take a more strategic review of the operation of MAGC and then to implement relevant changes in its operation and governance. The aim is that the scheme continues to be led and run by volunteers, but to adapt the scheme quickly and effectively at this stage we would benefit from a short term injection of resources and support. This will enable us to continue to strengthen the scheme and most importantly to properly review to ensure that it is best meeting the needs of individuals we are seeking to work with. The grant would pay for a range of support and training: investing in our volunteers and staff for the future; simplifying processes, systems and governance; and increasing community awareness. |

ALLENS CROFT PROJECT |
We want to support an increased number of women to be equipped with knowledge and skills to overcome barriers to lead the life they want as an active member of society. We know through our evaluation that our programmes support women to achieve their independence following domestic abuse, to seek employment/education or remain in employment/education and to have the confidence to support themselves in their own homes so our purpose is twofold: 1. to develop a hub and spoke model of the project. we are acutely aware that a large number of women cannot access our programmes due to travel issues. we are in the south of the city and some already travel on 3 buses to reach us. we support 57 women per week. Our plan would be to employ a worker that would allow our manager the time to develop and test the proposed model in the north of the city and to develop the key partnerships necessary to make it a success for vulnerable women and children and greatly increase our capacity to deliver programmes that have an impact. 2. To develop a volunteer model that would allow us support development for women with lived experience to become project facilitators and/or coaches to empower women to return to work and/or education and increase their economic well-being. Our project is run by women with lived experience and this model will also allow us to 'grow our own' in terms of future staff members. |

GILGAL BIRMINGHAM |
We are requesting a grant to seek support in drastically improving our sustainability during a challenging time of facing a significant fall in local authority financial support. We are eager to commit time and resources to review our current strategic approach including management processes and responsibilities, diversifying income sources and improving strategic positioning. An essential element of this efforts is to review our income streams, having been reliant on local authority support for many years including Housing Benefit payments and BCC ‘Supporting People’ contract, and plan for a more diverse and sustainable fundraising strategy and approach. We are aware that there have been opportunities both commercial and grant funded that we have not explored due to a lack of strategic focus on these areas, affecting our sustainability and is an organisational weakness during this financially challenging time. This timely support has been designed not only to provide us with not only the external support and knowledge we need to address our challenges and improve our approaches but also the internal staff time to explore opportunities and make changes required. The need for support and changes to our strategic approach is widely recognised by our senior staff and trustees and has been regularly discussed within our monthly Trustee meeting – however a lack of senior staff time has hampered progress. We are aware that we could be making better use of our Trustees time and skills, and this also forms part of the review we shall complete in this project. |

SIFA FIRESIDE |
Our proposed project is to develop an integral organisational communications plan. We will appoint a Communications Lead on a part time basis to help us to develop our communication plan. Our plan will help us to drive and communicate our vision and our core aims to prevent and reduce homelessness and help people to take back control of their lives. A dedicated Communications Lead will share our stories, successes, challenges and campaigns to raise the profile of our work enabling our CEO and other members of our Leadership team to actively contribute to our city’s strategic development around reducing homelessness, vulnerable housing and rough sleeping alongside ensuring our continued delivery. We are passionate about being significant contributors to homelessness prevention and reduction in the city, we have over 35 years’ experience in the city working with our client groups. Appointing a Communications lead to our team will streamline our communications to ensure consistent messages are communicated internally and externally to all stakeholders. Communications has been identified as a key strategic objective and it links to our organisational development plans helping us to increase fundraising appeals and develop committed giving products. It will help us engage with stakeholders including our clients; maximise our digital platforms; launch press programmes and develop our key messages linking directly to strategic objectives. Strengthening our infrastructure through clearer communications will improve and increase delivery outcomes for our clients: Increasing income, increased client engagement ensuring continued relevance and raised profile. |

APTITUDE ORGANISATION CIC |
The purpose of the funding is twofold; one to build the organisations sustainability and two to enhance our existing offers to beneficiaries. We have a sustainability plan to market our traded services and generate a surplus over the next 3 years to reinvest into our community projects. The funding would enable us to backfill senior staff so they can realise the sustainability plan. It would also fund some much needed support from specialist consultants who could upskill members of our board regarding marketing knowledge (a gap identified in our strengths checker) and the development of a sales strategy. The investment in training of some of our key members of staff means we can cascade the training to our staff members who are regularly dealing with young people who have mental health concerns and safeguarding issues. It would also provide a revenue stream to the organisation as we can broaden our traded services offer with the additional offer of nationally recognised training courses to other agencies. The funding would also enable us to invest in a recognised outcome measurement tool so we can track beneficiary journey and report more accurately on outcomes of our interventions. The backfill of senior staff would also mean we could focus on our priority area of networking, building partnerships in the sector exploring joint working opportunities with other agencies. This would enable us to extend our reach into new markets such as schools and strengthen referral routes as a result of better working partnerships. |

Since December 2018, brap has been delivering Building a Stronger Britain Together-funded workshops to 16-18 year olds across colleges in Birmingham. Workshops have been facilitated using a method called process work, which allows deeper conversations with young people who are particularly susceptible to far-right or Islamist extremism. Process work is a psychotherapeutic approach to dialogue that recognises the central role emotions play in the formation of views. Our use of this method reflects the fact that extremism is driven by emotion (fear, isolation, anxiety) and that we need facilitation techniques that surface these emotions to help people deal with them and build resilience to extremism, whilst understanding how their beliefs were formed. Since running this project, we have been overwhelmed by demand for these sessions and are therefore looking to work with other organisations. In particular, we would like to respond to requests to work with a younger cohort (Key Stage 4). Additionally, we’ve been asked by schools/youth organisations in Coventry to deliver sessions to young people there. We are attracted to the idea of trialling process work in a new local authority area, but appreciate there are a number of challenges to this (see below). As such, we’re looking for funding to: - work with Birmingham colleges/schools to deliver six workshops to approximately 60 people aged 14-18 - pilot and evaluate four workshops in Coventry to approximately 40 people aged 14-18 - deliver a youth practitioner workshop to disseminate learning arising from this work Project objectives: - Increase resilience to extremism by helping 14-18 year olds reflect on how their beliefs about politics, religion and gender are formed - Promote belonging by exposing the cohort to different views and help them understand more about their peers - Help students promote values such as equality and decrease 'segregation' within their college |

PJ PROGRAMME UK LIMITED |
PeaceJam UK delivers peace education, based around the lives and example of the 14 Nobel Peace Laureates who form our governing body. The core of our activity consists of training teachers to work with our age-tailored curricular materials in the classroom. This project will aim to train teachers and senior staff in 30 out of the 85 primary schools in Coventry on how to use our PeaceJam Juniors curricular materials to promote tolerance of diversity and difference among primary school pupils. It will also train those teachers in facilitation skills specific to the task of managing difficult conversations and undermining extremist narratives. Our materials and training are age appropriate so instead of explicitly laying out what an extremist narrative is and then debunking it (which runs a high risk of introducing some children to new ideas and thus accidentally reinforcing rather than undercutting them), the programme instead highlights key alternative ideas about common humanity, human rights for all and celebrates diversity. The training will also include how to use the Billions Acts of Peace initiative, run by PeaceJam, which encourages young people to work together for a better world. This adds a hands-on, action element that will engage some youngsters who are more resistant to classroom activity. It also gives an end purpose and outcome to the learning activities. This project would build on our long-term schools work in Coventry, where we have been engaged in peace education since 2006 with a number of secondary schools. As noted below, teachers have indicated to us that this work needs to start at a much earlier age, as undoing discriminatory attitudes in secondary school is much harder. The training of teachers will be delivered both in-school and off-site depending on the preferences of the schools. |

NEW START 4 U C I C |
NewStart4U (NS4U) is an organisation established to support mainly Eastern European migrants in the UK. Our project will focus on individuals in the latter cohort who have been subjected to right wing extremism agenda promoted in their home countries and now living in deprived areas of Coventry: areas where it is known that far-right extremists are active and a number of Eastern European migrants have joined Far-right organisations. The project will explore and connect the stories of migration and appreciate our common human experiences and values. This project shall be entitled “Communities with Shared Values” (CWSV) and its aims shall be achieved through six discussion topics related to the reason of emigration, beliefs and values incorporated into the teaching of conversational English and literacy. The discussion topics include: 1) My migration journey–why I moved to the UK? Nationalism in EU, and historical harms of extremism. 2) Developing confidence in new communities 3) Understanding our shared values 4) Understanding other cultures 5) What is identity? 6) Contribution of migrant communities in the UK The program will include short trips to the local communities and other places where our participants will be able to engage with other community members and break barriers. We will incorporate a program which introduces access to community radio for the Polish community by collaborating with one of our Coventry network partners, Radio Hillz FM. This will help to encourage discussions related to shared values and challenge those Far-Right narratives as well as amplifying our project to the wider audience. Learners will have access to this program which will subsequently draw new learners to the project. We will recruit and train 8 bilingual volunteers providing them with Level2 IAG qualification and help them to gain experience through delivery of information, advice and guidance to our service users. |
