Have you got a great idea for improving community safety in Stone?
Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Ellis is inviting groups in the town to bid for money from his People Power Fund.
As part of his commitment to local communities, the Commissioner is providing £500,000 in 2014/15 through the fund in the form of grants of between £100 and £3,000.
The window for the next round of applications for People Power Funding opens on Friday 1 August and runs until Sunday 14 September.
The fund is supporting locally-driven community safety activities in communities throughout Staffordshire. These could range from Good Neighbour Schemes to provide reassurance in a community, the introduction of a local club or activity for young people, through to the installation of security measures at a local community venue used by residents.
Mr Ellis said: “The Commissioner’s People Power Fund puts half a million pounds back into local communities and is easy and simple to apply for. It’s about local ideas to sort out local issues like anti-social behaviour. If you’ve got a good idea, the People Power Fund may be able to help you achieve it. “If you’re a community group with good ideas to cut crime or make your area safer go to the website now to find out more.”
People Power applications need to be sponsored by the group’s local Neighbourhood Police Officer or Police Community Support Officer. More details, including application forms and an animated video about the fund, are available now at www.staffordshire-pcc.gov.uk/fund
The People Power Fund is one part of £2.5 million of Commissioner’s Community Funding for 2014/15.
