£1 million funding to help tackle crime in Hucknall and across Nottinghamshire

These grants will provide multi-year funding up to March 2025 to allow local organisations to deliver long-term projects to have a tangible impact on the communities they serve.

Caroline Henry, Police and Crime Commissioner, said:

“The Make Notts Safe Grant Funding puts the power back in the hands of organisations on the ground to help me deliver real change in Nottinghamshire by funding projects that have a real impact on both combating crime and addressing drivers of crime in communities.”

Part of the Make Notts Safe Grants will be split into thematic funding rounds based on the Commissioner’s strategic priorities. These priorities include funding youth diversionary activities, addressing hidden harms, tackling both rural and hate crime and combating issues of greatest community concern.

In addition to the thematic funding rounds, a Make Notts Safe Community Chest will also be available to provide short term funding from up to six months to a year to organisations around the county with up to £5,000 available for each applicant.

The Make Notts Safe Community Chest and two of the thematic funding rounds are now open for applications, the deadline for which is Monday, March 7.

Any local organisations interested in applying, can register to attend briefing events – held virtually via Microsoft Teams on either Tuesday, February 1 from 5pm to 6.30pm

or Thursday, February 3 from 2pm to 3.30pm – by emailing [email protected].
