Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that charities working to build community resilience are eligible for funding from the Building a Stronger Britain Together programme.

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.
