The Small Grants Scheme supports a wide variety of projects every year, including cross-community and multi-cultural arts projects, festivals, good relations training sessions, historical site visits, residentials, sports activities, conferences etc.  

All projects must include an intentional Good Relations learning programme to ensure participants increase their understanding of different cultures, traditions and backgrounds.
