County Durham Community Foundation - Community Safety Fund launched today

News - 24 August 2020

Thanks to a Community Safety Fund being launched today, community groups and voluntary sector organisations have the opportunity to apply for a grant for projects and initiatives, which help to keep communities safe.

The Durham Police, Crime and Victims’ Commissioner (PCVC), are continuing their partnership with local grant-making charity County Durham Community Foundation. Under this partnership, the PCVC contributes £100,000 to the Fund and a further £50,000 comes from grant funds managed by the Foundation.

Last year the fund granted more than £141,000 to support 21 individual projects - all aimed at creating and sustaining safer communities.

Preference will be given to projects that can show they are embedded in a community, and focus on a specific locality, as opposed to projects with a wider but lighter touch approach. An example would be creating activities for young people in a specific community as opposed to a county wide publicity campaign for public safety.

The full press release around this launch can be downloaded below.
