Supporting People on the Edges As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, our relationships with communities and individuals at the edge of society, who are vulnerable, marginalised and isolated is more important than ever. These people are an untapped resource of skills, knowledge and abilities which can improve our communities. Working with them, we want to shift society’s focus to recognise that everyone deserves to be respected and treated fairly. A few highlights.. A new partnership with Garfield Weston who has invested £100k over the next 3 years, supporting groups who are harder to reach to access funding. We are excited to be working with Cara Friend to support young LGBT+ people in more rural or isolated areas in Northern Ireland. We continue our work with destitute asylum seekers, awarding nine volunteering awards of £500 each supporting those to access basic needs. 18
