The purpose of the End Violence Against Women and Girls Local Change Fund is to support the community voluntary sector in Belfast to deliver events, projects or programmes of activity aimed at ending violence against women and girls.
Projects which specifically work with men and boys to raise awareness and understanding of the EVAWG strategy, promote positive masculinity and support men to become allies in ending VAWG are particularly welcome.
Please note all activity & spend must be completed by 31 March 2027.
