We are looking for a Learning Partner to support a five-year programme to increase the use of human rights based approaches to achieve change for communities in London

New grants by our Strengthening Civil Society programme include collaborations with the Community Foundation NI, the Access to Justice Foundation, City Bridge Trust and with Scottish grant-makers for a new Scottish human rights fund.

Grants of up to £50,000 over 18 months are available for work which uses legal action to address racial injustice in all aspects of the criminal justice system by organisations based and working in the North of England.

The Baring Foundation is one of a group of funders who have commissioned the Social Change Initiative to help inform the future of funding for human rights in Scotland.

New grants awarded include 13 to organisations using legal action to address racial injustice in the criminal justice system and ten to expert legal hub organisations working with civil society.

A new report finds that the law can be a powerful tool for anti-racist campaigners and CSOs, but it can be harder to use in practice.

Join us on 20 October to hear from three small organisations, who wouldn't have considered themselves legal experts, talk about their recent or current journeys into legal action.
