How many anti-sectarianism projects it is supporting through its Race, Religion and Refugee Integration Fund.

During the 2007-08 financial year the Scottish Government supported Sense Over Sectarianism with £88,750 to deliver community-based anti-sectarian projects and provided Nil by Mouth with £51,500 to undertake anti-sectarian education work. We also provided £85,000 to support and run the Sectarianism: Don''t Give It, Don''t Take It online education resource and deliver related theatre based workshops and this was complimented by £100,000 going to schools across Scotland to undertake anti-sectarian projects. We also provided Football for All with £150,000 to develop and run the football-based anti-sectarian campaign Kick out Bigotry.
In addition we have already made a number of commitments up to March 2011. For example, we are committing £412,500 to Sense over Sectarianism to continue their anti-sectarian work in the Glasgow and travel to work area; we will provide Nil by Mouth with £53,000 to continue their anti-sectarian work, and have also committed £22,000 to YouthLink Scotland to develop an anti-sectarian resource for youth workers. Further funding is being considered as part of a broader package of activities to tackle sectarianism in Scotland.
