Community Relations Council

Services

Its strategic aim is to promote a peaceful and fair society based on reconciliation and mutual trust.

It aims to do this by:

• Providing support (finance, 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
