This year sees the launch of the Awards for Bridging Cultures. The ABCs will celebrate local schemes and projects, run by grass roots, community and voluntary organisations, that build bridges between communities. Throughout the UK, voluntary and community groups are running schemes and projects that build bridges between communities. But, this work does not always receive the profile it should or full recognition of the role smaller projects can play in contributing to the bigger picture. The ABCs will showcase this work and raise awareness of the wide range of activity on the ground. It will encourage applicants to share the learning from their schemes with other organisations. The ABCs are funded by The Baring Foundation and delivered by the Institute of Community Cohesion (iCoCo). The application process is short and simple, the deadline for applications for 2008 is Wednesday 1st October.
