We’re getting in touch to let you know about Southern Co-op’s Safer Neighbourhoods fund. Eligible organisations can apply for up to £8k in funding to support community programmes working to reduce crime by supporting offenders and/or those at risk of offending.
First launched in 2020, the Safer Neighbourhood Fund supported 1,372 people in partnership across 14 organisations from 2020-21. The programme enabled people to increase employability skills, overcome personal barriers and improve their emotional resilience.
We welcome interest from organisations that are:
- Seeking funding for work which is being delivered in Portsmouth, Southampton, South London, Bournemouth or Bristol
- Charities, community groups, schools and good causes
- Directly supporting local people affected by the key drivers of crime.
Further information on the funding criteria can be found here.
The expression of interest closes on Friday 26th August.
Thank you
Neighbourly I Southern Co-op Team
