Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts has launched a new fund to support her plans to build a safer, stronger and more inclusive Derbyshire.
The Commissioner is inviting non-profit organisations, charities and voluntary partners in Derbyshire – the people who know their communities best – to apply for grants to help deliver against the priorities of her Police and Crime Plan.
The Safer and Stronger Communities Fund will provide grants of up to £5k for effective, community-focused organisations that are passionate about helping the county and its people to flourish.
Nicolle said: “The aim of my Safer and Stronger Communities Fund is to provide a platform for organisations and groups who already work with and truly understand their communities to continue making an impact on the issues that really matter to local people. These organisations are already an asset to Derbyshire, and I believe that by harnessing their knowledge, expertise and experience we will make our richly diverse communities stronger and safer.”
The Commissioner wishes to support projects that help individuals to live safely and without fear of crime in their homes and those which empower the community to tackle problems in their neighbourhood areas.
She is also interested in projects that are organised by, and involve community/neighbourhood groups, can demonstrate that they can make a difference to local communities and take a new and sustainable approach to long-term issues and foster good relations between partner agencies and communities.
All applications should be submitted by 17 January 2025
