VICTIMS of the conflict living in Britain are to be targeted for special healthcare support underpinned by EU money.
The programme aims to improve the wellbeing of survivors who have suffered as a result of violence.
The IRA crossed the Irish Sea to bomb cities many times throughout the decades of the Troubles, with explosions ripping through major metropolitan areas of Britian from the early 1970s.
The north's Victims and Survivors Service (VSS) is calling for funding applications from community and voluntary organisations under the PEACE 4 EU programme.
It said: "The aim of the programme is to improve the health and wellbeing of victims and survivors and will target hard-to-reach and marginalised individuals and communities that have suffered as a result of the Troubles/conflict, through the development of a number of new and innovative initiatives."
During the Troubles, republican bombs exploded in places like Birmingham, Canary Wharf in London, Warrington, Harrods department store in London's Knightsbridge, and elsewhere, killing and injuring many.
The British government has been urged to ensure that victims of IRA violence in Britain are included in any new pension scheme for the most badly injured.
Campaigners have been lobbying for greater support because traumatic attacks often destroyed victims' ability to work and support themselves.
Gaps in health provision have been identified in the north west of the region and Republic, England, Scotland and Wales, West Belfast, South Down/Louth, and South Armagh/Monaghan, the VSS said.
The victims' service is searching for additional health and wellbeing caseworkers.
It funded 21 positions throughout the north last year.
