Commissioner's Fund launched

This is a small grants programme which aims to help improve local communities and the lives of the local people that reside within DyfedPowys.
The grant scheme will be funded by the proceeds of crime awarded to the police and from the sale of unclaimed found property. It will be available for DPP Officers or members of staff no higher than Sergeant level. Charities, voluntary organisations and community groups will be able apply for up to £5000 of funding via a local police officer or support staff member. The projects could, for example, educate, protect or support vulnerable groups, or aim to change the behaviour of potential or persistent offenders. Grants could pay for essentials such as educational toys, sports gear, publicity material, training, transport costs, venue hire, volunteer expenses or running costs.
Applications opened on June 3, with a deadline of June 28. Beneficiaries will be announced in August. 
The Commissioner’s Fund will not fund individuals and sole traders, profit-making organisations, statutory bodies and organisations not established in the UK.
The projects must also in some way support the objectives of the Police and Crime Plan.
