Funding

Answer 2

The government provides funding for local authorities to respond to immigration, youth projects, twinning projects, meetings for conflict resolution and community pride campaigns
These projects and schemes bring communities together and encourage community cohesion

Question 3

Citizenship days

Answer 3

Citizenship days are held throughout the UK to celebrate national and local culture and stress the sharing of local traditions and such British values as respect for the rule of law, tolerance and democracy
Celebrations bring people together in a fun way whilst also learning and understanding other religions and cultures - this helps community cohesion

Question 4

Support is offered with translation and learning the English language to migrants who don’t speak English
This helps people to integrate into communities and thus helps community cohesion
