Rayne Refugee Fellowship           

Do you have a Big Idea to change lives or transform your community?

Perhaps it is in sport, culture, social enterprise, health promotion,  community advice or even to support development within your home community. 

Welcome to Rayne Fellowships for Refugees, a fantastic opportunity for refugees living in the UK with a Big Idea that, with the right help, could be brought to flower. Rayne Fellows will receive the right support, resources and training to turn a vision into reality and make a real difference to people’s lives.

Each year, five people will be selected for a Fellowship. They will be able to draw upon a resource fund of up to £15,000 to be spent on personal development, further training or education, resources, expert advice, one-to-one mentoring or attending networking events. 

Each applicant will be given online and telephone support to help complete their application. Finally, shortlisted applicants will be invited to make a presentation to an independent panel. Then the five successful Fellows will be chosen and begin developing their Big Idea. 

If you are interested, you will have to submit an application outlining your Big Idea and giving some information about how you think you could make it work, the support and resources you might need and the impact within the wider community. Decision are made on the quality of your idea and your commitment to building bridges between refugee communities and the wider society
