Community Relations Council

Community Relation CouncilThe Community Relations Council was formed in January 1990 to promote better community relations between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland and equally, to promote recognition of cultural diversity. 

Its strategic aim is to assist the people of Northern Ireland to recognise and counter the effects of communal division. It aims to do this by:

  • Providing support (finance, training, advice, information) for local groups and organisations
  • Developing opportunities for cross-community understanding
  • Increasing public awareness of community relations work
  • Encouraging constructive debate throughout Northern Ireland

The Council's work falls into three main areas:

  • Encouraging other organisations, both voluntary and statutory, to develop a community relations aspect to their policies and practices
  • Working with churches and groups which have a primary community relations focus
  • Encouraging greater acceptance of and respect for cultural diversity

Projects funded by Community Relations Council
