Please note the BCFs adjusted the terminology from ‘Gender Equality and Social Inclusion’ to ‘Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion’ in September 2026 to align terminology with wider Defra programming. While Disability Inclusion was previously considered to be included within Social Inclusion and should already have been a consideration, applicants and projects should be aware of this change.

The above webinars were held prior to the change in terminology and therefore refer to ‘Gender Equality and Social Inclusion’.
