Anti-extremist groups are to be given £5 million by the government, David Cameron has announced.

The money will fund campaigns and charities helping to prevent the "seed of hatred being planted in people's minds", he said.

The move is part of the government's counter-extremism strategy to be launched on Monday.

According to Downing Street, the funding will be used to "build a national network of grassroots organisations" to combat the “poison” of extremist idealogy.
