We have awarded £6 million of Building a Stronger Britain Together (BSBT) funding to 136 projects delivered by 126 civil society groups. Groups can make multiple applications, with a maximum value for each of £50,000 for a grant application and £75,000 for in-kind support.

All civil society groups in receipt of BSBT funding are working to tackle extremism as defined in the Counter Extremism Strategy. A list of the groups and the region(s) they are operating in can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/building-a-stronger-britain-together.
