Have An Idea To Help Build A Safer Staffordshire?

Have an idea to build a safer community where you live in Staffordshire? The Commissioner's People Power Fund is a pot of cash available to you! Community based organisations can apply for grants for between £100 - £3,000 to support ideas to improve community safety, reduce crime and increase public confidence.

Great ideas for community safety solutions come from local people.

Which is why Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Ellis is inviting groups in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to bid for money from the Commissioner’s People Power Fund.

The fund empowers local groups to find solutions to community safety problems through smaller grants of between £100 and £3,000.

These could range from bike maintenance schemes that teach young people vital safety skills,

garden services that maintain the gardens of vulnerable, often-isolated residents

to youth projects which aim to tackle anti-social behaviour.

With the support of the local Community Safety Partnership (CSP), community based organisations, either solely or in collaboration with others can make an application.
