UK Government cash will include focus on Sandy Row/Donegall Road, Woodvale, Connswater and Greater Falls
Belfast Council has outlined how £600,000 from a UK government fund aimed at tackling racism and integration in the wake of the summer race riots is to be spent.
Early in August, after an anti-immigration group and a larger anti-racist counter rally converged outside City Hall, numbers from the anti-immigration group broke away from the City Centre and moved into South Belfast, where individuals and businesses were attacked. The events followed a mass stabbing in which three children were killed in Southport in England.
At the Belfast Council Strategic Policy and Resources Committee main monthly meeting in January, council officers outlined the final plan with a document showing the fund divided into eight blocks. The remaining £170,000 under this block will support projects led by constituted community organisations across Belfast up to a value of £20,000, through an open call, that support a “proactive approach to integration and inclusion” of the migrant population.
£35,000 will go towards programmes that “develop a resource that clearly presents the facts in relation to migration, and the process of immigration”. £20,000 will go towards the 'Schools of Sanctuary' programme already up and running in the city.
