funding opportunity for Lisburn and Castlereagh

This funding aims to help change the attitudes, behaviours, and culture of violence against women and girls

Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is supporting the NI Executive to roll out the Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) Strategy with a funding opportunity.

The Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Momentum Fund is open to a wide range of organisations across community/voluntary, sports, arts, and faith-based sectors.

Funding of between £1,000 and £5,000 is available to help mobilise grassroots action, support innovative delivery, and maximise the impact of community-led initiatives.

Examples of activities could include

• awareness campaigns hosting workshops or creating digital campaigns that educate participants on what constitutes gender-based violence, everyday misogyny, and steps to foster respectful interactions
• capacity-building events partnering with organisations like Women’s Aid or PSNI to provide training for community groups on recognising and responding to signs of domestic or sexual violence
• community discussions organising open forums or roundtable discussions focussing on the EVAWG Strategic Framework and gather local perspectives on how best to implement prevention measures
