Overview

The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust aims to fund work which will contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Northern Ireland conflict. Its vision is of a Northern Ireland with the following characteristics:

  • A constitutional settlement which takes account of the range of political views of the people of Northern Ireland, Britain and the Republic of Ireland and which is underpinned by the principles and values of participation, human rights and equality;
  • A non-sectarian political culture which is inclusive, transparent, responsive and accountable;
  • Effective processes and mechanisms for managing societal and political conflict without recourse to violence;
  • A respectful and inclusive public discourse about the Troubles, which promotes a shared understanding of the root causes of past violence, and a public policy framework which facilitates truth, justice and reconciliation;
  • A vibrant, pluralist and activist civil society, responsive to the needs of the most vulnerable and able to hold the government to account.
