Answer
Since its establishment in 2002 the Minority Ethnic Development Fund (MEDF) has enabled hundreds of projects and groups to support minority ethnic people. In line with a review of the Fund, a 3-year funding scheme is currently in place from April 2022 – March 2025 and there are 31 successful applications currently being supported. More information on the Fund and organisations currently receiving funding can be found at.
