Proteus Small Grants

Indicative themes Proteus hope to support are:

1. Awareness - raising educational programmes to include

• Diversity and Ethnicity
• Suicide prevention
• Health in the community
• Mechanisms for coping with life changing events (including addictions)

2. Active Citizenship

3. Legacy archive - projects funded by Proteus under Peace II and Peace II Extension can apply for small amounts of funding to help with updating products and tools developed using Peace funding.

4. Any other innovative proposals which address a social or community need, consistent with their overall aims and objections.
