Comic Relief has announced that it will deliver in the autumn a new £4 million grants programme which is designed to protect, inspire and empower women and girls in the UK.

The new Comic Relief grants strategy was developed in response to an ever-changing environment to help the organisation best achieve its vision of ‘A Just World Free From Poverty’ – where everyone is safe, healthy, educated and empowered.

The new grant programme will be delivered as part of a £4 million fund, created with £3 million from HM Treasury and £1 million pledged by Comic Relief as part of Sport Relief 2016.

Information on Comic Relief’s grants strategy and grants programme can be found on the Comic Relief website
