Diversity Environment Engagement Project (DEEP)

The Diversity Environment Engagement Project (DEEP) aims to work with three black and minority ethnic (BAME) groups located in the most deprived neighbourhoods, to address local concerns of environmental and social exclusion issues.

Capacity Global will provide the community groups with support to develop and manage environmental initiatives to tackle the issues affecting their communities, and build collective action at local and national levels that can influence mainstream environmental equality campaigns and policies.

The Big Local

Big Local is a ten-year programme led by Community Development Foundation (CDF) and also includes CCLA, IVAR, Capacity Global, NANM and UnLtd, that will achieve lasting change in 150 areas in England. It will provide a mixture of funding, finance and support. This will enable local people to build on local talents and aspirations and identify and act on their own needs to make their areas better places to live, now and in the future.

There will be a unique programme of activity in each area based on local needs but sharing the Big Local programme outcomes. More...
