Sign Language Funding 2025/2026

Overview

The Department for Communities (DfC) is inviting applications for funding from its Sign Language fund. Before making an application for funding you are advised to read the Sign Language Funding Criteria and Guidance Notes 2025/26 which can be found on the Department for Communities website at https://www.communities-ni.gov.uk/articles/department-communities-dfc-sign-language-fund-criteria-and-guidance-notes-202526

Applications for funding are open to all groups which meet the criteria set out in the Sign Language Funding Criteria and Guidance Notes.

Applications must clearly demonstrate how your project will contribute to the aims, objectives and priorities of the Sign Language Partnership Group, which in turn play an important role in helping the Department achieve the outcomes of a more equal society and a society that supports everyone to achieve their full potential, removing barriers and blockages. The Sign Language priorities are listed in the Sign Language Funding Criteria and Guidance Notes 2025/26.
