Black Cultural Archives is the home of Black British History. They use their mission to collect, preserve and celebrate the histories of people of African and Caribbean descent in the UK and to inspire and give strength to individuals, communities and society. This grant will support an ambitious programme to catalogue material relating to the development of the Runnymede Trust, and smaller collections focusing on migration. It will also contribute towards the development of a new role focused on collecting histories of underrepresented groups and developing a public programme to share these collections with community groups.

Public Interest News Foundation (PINF) works in partnership with colleagues in the UK and around the world to understand the unique contribution that independent news providers make to society. They use this research to design and deliver programmes that build the capacity of independent news providers and improve public understanding of their work. This grant supports a new model of local media that speaks to, for and with communities across Northern Ireland. Building on a pilot project in Newry, PINF will work with local communities to shape and support their vision for local media that is both economically and socially sustainable.
