Community projects are being urged to apply to the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent to get a share of around £250,000 seized from criminals.
The PCC’s Partnership Fund has reopened for another round of applications from charities, voluntary organisations and community groups involved in activities that have a positive impact on their communities.
Gwent PCC Jeff Cuthbert said: “The Partnership Fund is a fantastic way of putting money we have seized from criminals back into the public purse so it can be used for positive community action.
“Under this round I am specifically looking to fund projects which primarily focus on crime prevention, community cohesion and the protection of vulnerable people.”
Each group will be able to apply for between £250 up to £10,000.
Since the Partnership Fund was launched three-and-a-half years ago by the Gwent’s first PCC Ian Johnston, nearly £750,000 has been awarded to nearly 250 community projects across the force area.
The closing date for applications is 4pm on Friday, January 27.
