Black Country Near Neighbours<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nThe idea is to bring people together who are near neighbours in communities that are diverse, so they can get to know each other better, build relationships as people and collaborate together on initiatives that improve the local community they live in.

\nNear Neighbours has two key objectives:<\/p>\n


\nSocial interaction \u2013 to develop positive relationships in multi-faith areas i.e. to help people from different faiths get to know and understand each other better.<\/p>\n


\nSocial action \u2013 to encourage people of different faiths, or no faith, to come together for initiatives that improve their local neighbourhood.<\/p>\n


\nThey have a local coordinator based in the Black Country called Ruth Burgess who is helping to develop a network of people who want to improve life in the area and can help provide money for local groups who will work together to build bridges across the barriers of culture, nationality and faith.\u00a0 She also has links with some national agencies who can provide special expertise and training so that we can be effective and make a positive impact long into the future.<\/p>\n


\nGrants between \u00a3250 and \u00a35,000 are available, providing seed capital for local groups and organisations who are working to bring together neighbours, to develop relationships across diverse faiths and ethnicities in order to improve their communities.

\nNear Neighbours is funded by the Government Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). It is administered through the Church Urban Fund.<\/p>\n
