Engaging Deaf people, domestic abuse survivors, young people and New Scots in democracy

We will commission projects which aim to increase democratic participation among people across the whole of the UK (Lots 1&2), England (Lot 3) and Scotland (Lot 4) who may face barriers accessing information about democracy, voting and elections, specifically: Lot 1.

Deaf people, including but not limited to British Sign Language users. Lot 2.

Survivors of domestic abuse and others whose safety may be put at risk if their name and address appear on the electoral register. Lot 3.

Young people in England, particularly those who may face barriers to engaging in democratic debate and democracy more broadly. Lot 4. New Scots, particularly refugees (with leave to remain status) and other eligible people who may not understand their voting rights.
