Guidelines for Application to Support Fund for Displaced People

In response to the growing numbers of displaced people in many places around the world, World Mission Council has set aside some funds to support initiatives by our partner churches and organisations affected by and responding to this issue.

Although the challenge of various types of displaced people – refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced people, migrants – requires a long-term strategic response by many actors at local, national and international levels, the Church of Scotland at present is only able to offer short-term or one-off funding.

Partner churches and organisations carrying out work with displaced people are invited to complete the accompanying application form and return it to the relevant area secretary by 31 May 2016.

Applications will be considered by the World Mission Council in June and applicants will be informed shortly afterwards.

Available funding depends on the number of successful applications it is anticipated that individual grants will be between £5,000 - £20,000.

A condition of receiving these funds is submitting a narrative and financial reports describing activities and outcomes within three months of the completion of the project.
