Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Safety Fund Launch
|
Calling Parish Councils, community groups, schools and businesses
|
This is a new funding source recently announced by Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Police and Crime Commissioner Rupert Matthews. It will be made available for Parish Councils, community based groups, schools and businesses to deliver community-based prevention and diversion. Grants are available up to £10,000 and there will be six separate funding rounds per year.
Commenting on the fund, Mr Matthews said: “I want to make a real difference to our communities and I know there are many local people and organisations that share that ambition and are taking action every day to help our neighbourhoods thrive. This is an opportunity to help Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland become even safer in a number of ways, from supporting young people to turn away from crime, helping vulnerable people to recover from dependency issues or traumatic experiences or protecting their communities from crime or anti-social behaviour."
"Our city and two counties are different places with unique problems and priorities. For this reason, I am looking to support a broad range of projects across the LLR area to improve resilience, protect people from harm and increase opportunities to prevent people being drawn into crime and offending. If you think your project could support these goals, please don’t hesitate to get in touch."
Funding can be used for projects and initiatives that meet any of the objectives of Mr Matthews’ Police and Crime Plan including new initiatives and provision, existing projects and replacement funding.
Applications for the current round of funding can be submitted until Monday 25th July.
For more information and to apply, please follow the link below.
