In 2014, a small grant scheme was established by The Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister to fund additional support service projects to victims and survivors of Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA). The aim of the scheme is to help improve the lives of victims and survivors through the provision of funding for social support activity, enabling them to maintain engagement with The Executive Office and to support each other.
This guidance explains what funding is available, what it can be used to fund and the type of organisations that can apply. It also tells you about the criteria against which your application will be judged and the conditions that will be placed on the funding if you are successful.
