Awareness Raising Grant Relating to Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence

Cosc is pleased to announce that the Awareness Raising Grant Scheme relating to Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence is now open for applications. The 2012 grant round commenced  on Wednesday, 21 March 2012 with public advertisements in three of the National Newspapers. 

The purpose of Cosc's Awareness Raising Grant Scheme is to support groups at local, regional and national level in raising awareness of these crimes and services for victims. Cosc also carries out its own awareness raising activities and these, together with the activity supported under the grant scheme, should be mutually complementary and supportive.

Cosc recognises that some activities are best carried out by those working on the ground, but we also recognise that we can play a role in ensuring a degree of co-ordination and collaboration where that makes sense.  Cosc supports collaboration between groups in raising awareness as an effective and cost saving tool of communication in that it gives groups an opportunity to reach a wider target audience to reinforce a common message.
