	MODA News - Community Leaders Development Programme
	The Community Leaders Development Programme aims to provide individuals from Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic and Refugee communities who live in London, with a flexible and tailored range of leadership development opportunities. This project has two elements: a programme of outreach, taster sessions and entry level training; and a range of longer support options to provide more intensive structured personal and professional development.

	Events - Still Human Still Here
	Demonstration to mark International Refugee Day on Saturday 20 June, London Meet at Cleopatra’s Needle, Embankment, SW1 at 12 noon Rally at Trafalgar Square from 2 - 4pm Amnesty International groups in London have teamed up with the Refugee Council, Refugee Action, Hackney Refugee & Migrant Support Group, London Detainee Support Group and others to organise a demonstration calling for an end to the destitution of refused asylum seekers. The march takes place on Saturday 20 June as part of Refugee Week. It will start at 12 noon at Embankment and head off past Westminster to Trafalgar Square, where a rally in support of asylum seekers will be held. Thousands of asylum seekers in the UK who have had their claims to asylum refused find themselves trapped in utter destitution. Most are refugees from countries torn apart by conflict where human rights abuses are rife. They cannot return to their countries of origin for fear of their lives. Yet they are prohibited from working in the UK and cut off from receiving benefits. They are condemned to live in poverty, dependent on the charity of others and vulnerable to the worst kinds of exploitation. Many people have acknowledged the need to change a system that condemns refugees to poverty. A report in March last year by the Independent Asylum Commission states that the UK’s treatment of asylum seekers “falls seriously below the standards of civilised society”. The Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith MP wrote in a recent report for the Centre for Social Justice that "the policy of making asylum seekers destitute is mean and nasty and has not worked". Speakers at the rally will include: Kate Allen, director of Amnesty International UK; Jeremy Corbyn MP; Maurice Wren, director of Asylum Aidl; Donna Covey, director of the Refugee Council; Jean Roger Kaseki, human rights campaigner from the Democratic Republic of Congo; Marilyn Bonzo, refugee from Zimbabwe; Makola Mayimbika, Poetic Justice; Emma Ginn, Medical Justice; and Weyman Bennett, joint secretary of Unite Against Fascism.

This could be anything from collecting second hand items for needy people, reusing household items, cleaning up your neighbourhood, using the outdoors as a means of therapy – anything! This is a growing sector, one of the few sectors where there is growth at the moment, and there are lots of funds to support initiatives. This is also a sector where there is under-representation from refugee and asylum seeker groups. This is a joint initiative between the Evelyn Oldfield Unit and London Community Recycling Network. We ran an ‘Environmental Taster’ evening some weeks ago and based on feedback from that, we have designed a 4-part course to get groups more involved. This is open to refugee, asylum seeker and other community organisations who want to work with the new communities. There will be lots of practical advice given as well as chances to visit existing projects, network and to share your learning and experience with other groups. You can attend one or all 4 of these events. Please state in your email what your attendance preferences are. The sessions will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Lunch will be provided on all of these days. Please indicate if you have any additional needs, including those of a translator. This can be arranged. The locations will be confirmed as soon as possible but will be as close to central London as possible.

	Funding - New Special Initiative on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
	Closing date for application: 24 July 2009 City Parochial Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Rosa – the UK Women’s Fund, are pleased to announce a new collaborative initiative to strengthen community-based prevention work on FGM in the UK. Funding will be available for up to three years to develop work within FGM practising communities. All three funders agree that one of the most effective ways of tackling FGM in the UK is by investing in community organisations based within practising communities, in particular, women’s organisations. Applications are therefore invited from these organisations to develop a programme of work with young people, parents, faith leaders, and/or the wider community to raise awareness about this harmful practice and to empower communities to say no. Organisations need to be a registered charity or a voluntary organisation engaged in charitable work. Detailed information about this initiative, including how to apply, is available from the links: http://www.cityparochial.org.uk/ http://www.esmeefairbairn.org.uk/fgm.html http://www.rosauk.org/grants/default.aspx



	Funding - Myplace round 2

With over 200 projects applying to date myplace "have been unable to support all of the good applications we have received". The second round will invest a further £31.6m through grants of between £1m and 5m. BIG have reviewed the myplace application process and eligibility and assessment criteria in order to reduce the time and resources spent by organisations and young people developing applications that are unlikely to be successful given the limited funding available. As a result, there will be a number of significant changes from Round 1. For further information click here.
