Community groups in Stone can bid for money from the Police and Crime Commissioner’s latest round of People Power funding to help make our community even safer.
The window for the latest round of applications for People Power funding opens on Sunday 1st March until Tuesday 14th April. The fund is supporting locally-driven community safety activities throughout Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent. These could include providing long-term, sustainable positive activities for young people to help reduce anti-social behaviour, mentoring programmes for targeted local groups through to activities that reassure and improve the quality of life in local areas.
Community groups can bid for funds of between £100 and £3,000.
Matthew Ellis, PCC for Staffordshire said: “I have significantly increased the funding that local areas in Staffordshire have to make their communities safer. 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.”
