SARD is a programme designed specifically to encourage Palestinians to share their story and the stories of their culture and heritage with each other and with the world.
For 2026-2027, the British Council is seeking to partner with individuals or organisations to deliver creative projects that use English as a skill and tool for developing and telling stories about the Palestinian experience. These projects should aim to empower the most disadvantaged groups and communities in Palestine. Up to 6 grants will be awarded with values between £10,000 and £12,000.
The grant scheme is open to individuals, groups or organisations based in Palestine or in the UK with the ability to conduct work in Palestine. Joint proposals are welcomed. Applicants must have experience working with Palestinian communities on English education projects and be able to demonstrate this. Organisations or individuals with experience providing psychosocial support are also strongly encouraged to apply. We are looking to award grants to a diverse group of applicants, and this will be considered in the selection process. Overall diversity of projects and target audiences will also inform the final selection. If planning to work with children only registered organisations with a child protection policy in place are eligible to apply.
