Community and voluntary organisations are being offered the chance to apply for a share of £300,000 grant funding to help people feel safer.

It is part of Police and Crime Commissioner Gary Godden’s drive to create a safer Nottinghamshire for all.

The Safer Nottinghamshire Together Grants will be awarded to groups that can deliver projects to tackle one of five key priorities — anti-social behaviour; protecting vulnerable people from harm; violence against women and girls; serious violence, including knife crime; and improving criminal justice outcomes for children, women and girls, and minority communities.

Two types of grants are available, including larger multi-year grants until 2028 of up to £25,000 a year pro-rata, plus smaller one-off grants of up to £5,000.

There is an online application form and the chance to receive support from specialist voluntary sector agencies in making applications.

The deadline to apply is 9am on 15th July.
