The fourth call of the Police Property Fund Small Grants Scheme is now open for applications.
This follows three successful Small Grants funding calls awarding almost half a million pounds, and one Large Grants funding call awarding a further £150,000 to community-based projects across Northern Ireland.
Policing Board Chair Brendan Mullan encouraged any organisation that has an idea for a project that fits the bill to apply:
We’re delighted to be able to launch another call of the Police Property Fund Small Grants Scheme, which gives us an opportunity to support projects that benefit people on a local level.
We’ve seen the real and important impact of previously funded projects in communities across Northern Ireland, with over half a million pounds awarded over the last five years. We look forward to seeing even more positive changes and improved relationships between communities, their police service and their local Policing & Community Safety Partnerships.
Building better communities is everyone’s responsibility – so if you feel like you have a project that fits the criteria, make sure you apply.
