Comic Relief Offers Funding for UK Groups Working with Refugees and Asylum Seekers in the UK:
Comic’s new funding programme, Re-Rooted: Safety and Security for Refugees and Asylum Seekers, is offering grants of up to £200,000 over three to five years for UK organisations with an income of between £250,000 and £10 million.
The aim of the Re-Rooted funding call is to help UK organisations address the challenges faced by the migration sector and to support refugees and asylum seekers to safely and securely rebuild their lives in the UK.
The programme offers flexible, core funding for organisations that specialise in supporting refugees and asylum seekers in the UK so that they can continue and reinforce the good work of their organisation.
The funding is for proposals which focus on the following:
- Services and support for refugees and asylum seekers.
- Influencing and advocacy focusing on safer routes and improved outcomes for refugees and asylum seekers.
- Or a combination of both.
Proposals that are tailored to the needs of refugees or asylum seekers, or both, are also welcome.
Priority will be given to organisations that involve people with lived experience of forced migration to the UK. This should include current practice in involving lived experience in developing the organisation’s work and priority areas, and/or in the running of the organisation. It could also include plans for reinforcing existing good practice for involving people with lived experience.
The first step is to submit the online eligibility questionnaire. Those who are successful may then submit a full application. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a proposal assessment and asked to submit additional information and support documentation
The deadline for applications is 26 March 2024 (12 noon).

[editorial team: please alsoe refer to this post about applying for Sanctuary Scholarships]I am very pleased to send around our advert for a fully funded PhD Sanctuary Scholarship at the University of Leeds, working with Glenda Garelli and me.
We are potentially interested in someone with an unusual academic trajectory, ie., having been involved in activist, community or arts work. Or it may suit someone currently in MA studies. The status requirements are quite specific because of the need to ensure domestic fees.
