Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when her Department plans to make funding from the Building a Stronger Britain Together programme available to charities to help support their work in countering extremism and building community resilience.

The Government is taking a comprehensive approach to tackling the evil ideology of extremism, whether violent or non-violent, Islamist or far and extreme right wing. Arrangements for the Building a Stronger Britain Together (BSBT) programme for 20/21 will be communicated shortly. To date, the BSBT programme has provided grant and in-kind support to over 240 groups to deliver more than 370 projects across England and Wales that challenge extremism in all its forms and offer a positive alternative.
