Through community development and the advancement of citizenship, projects should empower individuals and groups of people by providing them with the skills they need to effect change in their own communities.

Advancing community development involves creating opportunities for the community to learn new skills and, by enabling people to act together, helps further social inclusion and equality.

They are looking for projects that engage local communities and leave a positive long term impact beyond the duration of funding. They especially welcome applications for projects that are focused on improving life for disadvantaged groups and encouraging their inclusion within society
