Cheshire, Halton & Warrington Race & Equality Centre is a local charity that promotes justice and equality, providing support to BAME communities, including the most vulnerable groups such as asylum seekers and refugees through a wide ranging programme of activities and services. We know through our work during lockdown and beyond that many of the communities we work with are still struggling financially and emotionally with the impact of Covid 19 and are particularly concerned being more at risk of the virus; we want to be in a position to respond to these needs through the coming months by developing new services and activities that will help them through this difficult time. Firstly, we would like to address some immediate needs around essential items for refugees and asylum seekers, secondly we would like to invest in equipment to help futureproof and protect the organisation in the case of a further lockdown and lastly it will fund increased activities that address mental health and isolation that people have faced during lockdown. The grant will make a difference by ensuring there is a place for the most isolated and vulnerable BAME communities that will provide the support they need to come through this pandemic safe and healthy.

CHAWREC is a local charity that promotes justice and equality, providing support to the most vulnerable communities, such as asylum seekers and refugees. The Covid 19 pandemic has required us to change how we deliver our services very quickly, so staff are now working from home where possible and offering limited support via e-mail, phone, whats app and zoom; we want to expand this so all services can be delivered remotely by all staff. Currently we are not equipped with the necessary technology to continue providing remote support and we anticipate that we will need to continue to provide a mixed service for the coming year - virtual as well as physical for the most vulnerable and to comply with social distancing, so the grant will be used to properly equip our staff working from home, so they can offer our services safely and efficiently enabling the most vulnerable to continue to receive support and advice. The grant will enable us to effectively engage online with our service users, particularly refugees and asylum seekers who are most at risk of Covid 19 and are most isolated.

Will improve facilities at their centre, create a booking system, and fund staff at a multicultural hub.

We would like to develop a series of activities that tackle community cohesion from several angles - 1) from a 'whole community' perspective through actions that bring communities together in localities where there have been new arrivals to promote integration and cultural awareness such as bring and share and 'meet your neighbour' events 2) from an empowerment perspective through the development of community champions being equipped with the tools to challenge extremist views and offer alternative viewpoints and 3) from an individual perspective through activities that reduce isolation for target communities such as coffee mornings.
