Crossing Borders (CB) is a non-profit, non-partisan civil society organisation. The vision of CB is a world in peace with itself in which diversity is celebrated. The mission is to create dialogue space toward such a world and to build the capacity of youth, media workers and educators to realise the above vision. The overall goal is to enable people with different backgrounds to learn to live together on equal terms. Crossing Borders started as a project in 1999 in Denmark in support of meaningful dialogue between the conflict parties in the Middle East. In response to increased activities and demands for the CB concept and services, it was transformed, in 2004, into a dynamic organization with activities in Denmark and abroad.

The Kreisau-Initiative e.V. was founded 1989 to address the need for international understanding, democratic education, and active engagement in human rights, particularly in response to Europe's history of division, conflict, and authoritarianism. The Kreisau-Initiative is committed to promoting democracy, human rights, social inclusion, and sustainability through international educational programs and cross-cultural dialogue. Rooted in the legacy of the Kreisau Circle, a German resistance group against Nazism, its mission is to empower individuals - especially young people - to actively shape just, inclusive, and democratic societies. At its core, the Kreisau-Initiative responds to persistent social challenges such as discrimination, social exclusion, extremism, and a lack of opportunities for youth participation in shaping democratic, inclusive societies. Recognizing that many young people - especially those from marginalized backgrounds - face barriers to education, empowerment, and cross-cultural exchange, the organization promotes non-formal education as a tool for social change. Today, the need for fostering social cohesion, gender equality, human rights awareness, and sustainability remains as urgent as ever. The Kreisau-Initiative continues to address these challenges by creating spaces for learning, dialogue, and action, empowering individuals to become active, responsible members of a democratic and diverse Europe. The organization's priority objectives are: - To foster social cohesion by addressing discrimination, exclusion, and extremism. - To promote human rights education and critical engagement with history to strengthen democratic values. - To advance gender equality and support marginalized groups through empowerment and participation. - To encourage socio-ecological transformation, raising awareness of sustainable development and climate justice. - To provide spaces for intercultural exchange, enabling young people to develop skills in dialogue, cooperation, and civic responsibility. Through non-formal education, transnational partnerships, and youth-centered approaches, the Kreisau-Initiative equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to drive positive social change across Europe and beyond.

The World Heart Beat Music Academy envisions a world where music bridges cultural, political, economic and linguistic barriers. We aim to inspire a passion for playing musical instruments and influence a generation of often alienated young people. We provide music tuition and personal development opportunities to over 260 children and young people between the ages of 5 and 24 years, who are based in Wandsworth and the surrounding London boroughs. Many of our students come from a range of challenging backgrounds. Some are the main carer for parents or siblings, some come from households with a history of drug addiction and alcohol abuse, some are classified as not in education, employment or training (NEET) and many are recent migrants and refugees, often moving into the UK without their parents or guardians. Many have difficulties engaging in school and finding employment when they are older. From our discussions with students, community leaders and teachers, we have learned that these young people are also less likely to engage with learning music and, therefore, unable to benefit from the social and personal development resulting from such activities. We provide students with tangible and useful experiences to develop their skills and build confidence, raise their aspirations and enable them to pursue whatever career they choose, in music or otherwise.

We explore and celebrate the richness of diversity through creative experiences. We work with people of all abilities and backgrounds to encourage a change in perceptions and attitudes around disability at both a personal, and public level. To do this we use the arts as a powerful tool for transformation.

Our organization exists to support the Syrian community in Manchester. We are a group of Syrian's running this group, we have been through the experience of leaving our country and coming to the UK. At present, there are still a lot of barriers for us to reach our goals. We understand the needs of our community, we know that even though some Syrians have been her for a few years they face many barriers, and they don't know how to apply their skills in the right place, become independent and integrate. Our aim is to support the community to become more independent, for women, men and children and everyone. We want to support people to break down barriers like language, confidence, not knowing how or where to go for help or how national systems work. Our objectives are: To promote social inclusion for the public benefit of people in Manchester who are refugees or asylum seekers (in particular, people of Syrian heritage) and who are socially excluded by: increasing opportunities for members of the Syrian community to engage with service providers, to enable those providers to adapt services to better meet the needs of that community; providing peer support and other activities that build people's confidence and enable them to participate more effectively with the wider community. promoting social and recreational events involving the local community. building people's knowledge and confidence in their own cultural heritage and its potential contribution to a multi-cultural society We have hosted two activities. Our first gathering was in October with 50 people attending which we self-funded. We got people together to share information about our group and ask the people how we can support them. The second activity was a Christmas get together in December with 60 people. This was about socializing for the community, the children did crafts, we watched the world cup final, and many people were introduced to each other. From these events we have gathered feedback so we can know the needs of the people and can create regular activities. This feedback has shaped our proposed activities. The outcomes we had achieved learning of the community of their needs and bringing the community together. We are planning many activities for the future. We will host regular English classes for adults. In the lessons they can practice, grow in confidence, and meet people. Lessons will focus on functional English covering topics like going to the doctors, supermarket, cooking. These classes will be practical, exploring everyday topics and challenges and may involve trips to different places. Lessons may also include experts or speakers to cover topics like health, education, and employment. We hope to host social events too, like we have done with the Christmas party. These events give the community an opportunity to socialize, build and strengthen social support networks. These get togethers help reduce social isolation and improve general wellbeing. We hope to run a range of social events in the future but at the moment we will make it a community meal. Other projects we want to run in the future are a digital skills class for adults and an Arabic class for children. Outcomes we hope to achieve in future to prepare all to enable them become more independent and more courage also confidence to enable them to deal with every day challenges including studies ,applky for jobs or dealing with any upcoming situation without struggling . We are part of the syrian community, we are well connected to a wide community of Syrians living in Manchester. We draw from your own experiences and listen to the community. Syrian Community Council works with people who are Syrian refugees or asylum seekers many are socially excluded and disadvantaged. People are struggling on daily basis and can't afford to pay for bills, food, travel, due to the cost-of-living crisis and migration status. People face multiple difficulties; low income, out of work, vulnerable, new to the community and don't know area and support or services, don't know the language. we are group of 5 running the group and we have 5 more volunteers of different backgrounds and different skills. The community inform the groups activities, we take their feedback via social media, via conversations. We encourage everyone to give suggestions. To reach more people we are using social media and ask our community to tell others about our group and events. We have been reaching out to lots of local groups so we can share our activities with them and reach more people. There is a large syrian commmunity in manchester, some have been here for several years, some are new to the UK and many are still arriving. We know that there is not enough services, support, or social opportunities for Syrians. Many are still isolated even if they have been here for a long time due to language challenges, trauma amongt many other things. As other world crisises has happened we have been forgotten about but many Syrian's still need support to integrate and become independant and truely feel at home in Manchester. Our English classes help people gain confidence and language skills which can help them be less isolated. The sessions are fun and social and bring people together providing a space for shared learning, a safe space to learn. They provide a regular space for people to get out of the house, meet others and gain skills and learn about the local area all of these things help reduce isolation. Social meals bring people together to make friends and enjoy, reduce isolation, improve wellbeing and mental help. People build social and support networks Impact - People more connected to their local community, feel they are not alone and have support netowrks. People are more informed about the local community and national services and groups and support they can access More confident to find work, volunteer, join education As a team of trustees we have a lot of experience in Syria working and volunteering in different projects which we bring to the group. We have managed events, listened to the people and cooperating with them, explaining things and reporting things. We are experienced in gathering information form the community to run activities. We all have an open mind to everyone. We have run events and activities for children. We always ask for feedback and complaints to enable us to find a solution, to learn and cover the communities needs. We are experiences in providing services which people are happy with. Our first two events in Hulme were very successful. We are confident this project will be a success. We know the venue, we know the community. We have lots of skills in the trustee team and volunteers and the communtiy is very skilled and resourceful. We are proactive and postive and good problem solvers. Safeguarding is really important to us as we are working with disadvantaged communities. We have safeguarding policies in place which all trustees and volunteers will read and we will make sure everyone follows the right steps. We will always make sure we have enough volunteers for activities where there are children, but volunteers will not be working with children in unsupervised settings. We have lots of experience with human rights organisations and lots of knowledge about safeguarding vulnerable people. One of our trustees has specific knowledge about teaching and working with children.

The Teesside Charity was established in March 2011 to provide social and economic opportunities that would not otherwise have existed in the area. Formerly the Middlesbrough and Teesside Philanthropic Foundation, the charity's key function is to financially support community groups and charities based within Teesside, which promote social wellbeing and provide support to those who find themselves at a disadvantage in the society they live in. These include but are not exclusively the homeless, those recovering from an addiction, the long-term unemployed, those living in poverty or living with a disability and employment schemes. The Teesside Charity helps those on the margins of society be involved in society and not excluded from opportunities. Teesside is a deprived area of the UK. It has higher crime rates, more pupils eligible for free school meals and higher unemployment than the national average. However, it also has great resilience and motivation to excel in areas.

The objects of the Charity are for the public benefit: (1) to advance the education of the public in the subject of Libyan culture and heritage; (2) to develop the capacity and skills of the socially disadvantaged members of the diaspora Libyan community within the United Kingdom in such a way that they are better able to: (i) identify, and help meet, their needs; and (ii) more fully participate in, and contribute positively to, British society; and (3) to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the trustees see fit from time to time. Libya in the UK (LYUK) is an independent non-governmental organisation led by Libyan youth living in the diaspora. We seek to be a hub for Libyans in the UK to foster a shared sense of community. We provide a platform for networking and knowledge sharing for all Libyans and implement initiatives to advance Libyan art, culture, young talent and entrepreneurship. Ultimately, LYUK aims to build a vibrant and diverse Libyan community in the UK. Our core values are independence and integrity and we strive for excellence in all areas of our work.
