Comic Relief has recently introduced a new grants strategy, which will aim to fund new initiatives to help drive great ideas and sustainable change across all four nations of the UK and in some of the world’s poorest communities. The strategy will also build upon the organisation’s 30 years’ experience by continuing to support existing partners and projects.
The updated strategy has been developed in response to an ever-changing environment to enable Comic Relief to respond faster to the complex world we live in and maximise the impact made both in the UK and overseas.
In order to pursue Comic Relief’s vision of ‘A Just World Free From Poverty’ – where everyone is safe, healthy, educated and empowered – grant making will be focussed on four key programme areas both in the UK and around the world:
- Investing in children and young people to be ready for the future
- Empowering women and girls to be free to lead the lives they choose
- Improving the health and wellbeing of vulnerable and disadvantaged people
- Building stronger communities in areas of disadvantage, deprivation and poverty
People will be at the heart of Comic Relief’s new grant making approach, working in stronger partnerships with funded organisations to co-create initiatives, helping people find their own solutions to the challenges they face.
