Organisations working to challenge discrimination and create opportunities for minority communities can now apply to a €1.37m fund aiming to support projects tackling inequality in education and employment.

Rethink Ireland has launched the Breaking Barriers fund to support workplace initiatives as well as employment and education programmes that remove barriers for people from marginalised or minority backgrounds.
