What does it fund? Projects tackling poverty and marginalisation in urban areas of England. The fund aims to benefit people who are socially, culturally, spiritually, environmentally and financially disadvantaged. Recent projects funded include CRISP, the Conflict Resolution in Schools Programme, set up by Quakers from Darlington to train young people in peaceful ways of settling conflict. The fund was able to support salaries for two part-time staff to extend the scheme across Teesside. Other projects have provided social events for isolated disabled people, independent living advice at a domestic violence refuge, support for a credit union and chaplaincy advice to help ex-offenders establish crime-free lives after leaving custody.
