Safeguarding training for groups
Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner
The Making Northamptonshire Safer Fund was set-up in 2017 to give grants to community groups, charities and other voluntary organisations so that they can carry out initiatives that prevent and tackle crime and support victims.
A Small Grants Scheme for bids under £3,000 (from £500) is now being offered through the Office of the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, which will give groups even more options when seeking funding.
This funding has recently been used to provide Safeguarding training to faith groups and others.
Small grants application can be sent from a variety of organisations including schools, parish councils and community groups. due to the value of the grant pot, the application process is much quicker and therefore applications are reviewed on a case by case basis and decisions are made more swiftly than those of the larger Making Northamptonshire Safer Scheme.
