The aim of this scheme is to help communities and people within Northamptonshire realise their potential, create stronger and safer communities, and reduce crime and antisocial behaviour. The current focus of the fund is on tackling serious youth violence.
The focus of the Fund is on community projects which tackle serious youth violence.
Projects must cover one of the following themes:
- Preventative: projects working with vulnerable families and communities to reduce childhood adversity.
- Early intervention: projects working with at risk or excluded children and young people.
- Intervention: projects working with young people at risk of offending or reoffending in relation to violent crime.
The fund is open to new and existing projects, as well as projects which are led by young people. Applications that focus on arts, music and sports are particularly welcomed.
The next deadline for applications is 24 June 2024 (5pm).
The expression of interest form is available to download from the NCF website. Applicants should submit the expression of interest form via email.
If their expression of interest is shortlisted, groups will be asked to be involved in a project visit at the end of July and funding decisions announced at the start of August.
