Following a successful seminar series in 2021, we are kicking off 2022 with our first seminar | Housing's role in refugee and migrant integration in the UK.
Access to safe and secure housing is one of the first steps towards leading a self-sufficient and ambitious life for refugees and migrants in the UK.
A new residential development is being proposed on the site of the former Blake Centre in Lockleaze, with a mixture of Extra Care Housing for older people with care needs, and housing for younger people.
The consultation period has now begun, with public feedback from the consultation being fed into the outline planning application in March 2021, which will give more information such as the proposed use and height of buildings.
Small grants of up to £5,000 are available to charities and not-for-profit organisations with projects related to repairing, maintaining, improving or building homes and community buildings.
The money is offered by The Screwfix Foundation, established in 2013, and applications are reviewed every quarter (February, May, August and November).
Examples of eligible projects, including some previously awarded funding:
Bristol City Council has submitted a planning application for a residential development on land bounded by Bonnington Walk, Landseer Avenue and a nearby railway line.
