Reaching Out: Linking In Equalities Project Information
www.equalitiesengagebanes.org.uk is the local web address for the Reaching Out: Linking in Project in Bath & North East Somerset.
The West of England Consortium has obtained funding from the Big Lottery Fund to provide Reaching Out: Linking In projects across Bath & North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. CVS South Gloucestershire is the lead agency and accountable body on behalf of the West of England Consortium and each project is funded for 2 years.
In Bath & North East Somerset, DEVELOP Enhancing Community Support is delivering this project. In our area this work is focussed particularly on supporting BME, disability and rural VCS groups where there is overlap between all three. However the project will also lend additional support to the full range of equalities groups. This project will seek to work closely with other equalities specialist organisations such as Bath Racial Equality Council and Bath People First to maximise support for equalities groups in this area.
This website is being provided as an ongoing resource which will remain once the project funding ends in 2011.
