Maximum grant applications should be in the region of £5,000.
Police and Crime Commissioner Clare Moody said, “My office is proud to support projects that use sport and physical activity to reduce violence, crime, and anti-social behaviour in our Avon and Somerset communities, through the Crime Prevention through Sport Fund.
“As Police and Crime Commissioner, I believe it’s crucial to work together to protect our young people. I encourage all sport groups and communities to apply for this grant to help create a safer, more supportive environment across Avon and Somerset. Please do have a look to see if this fund can help the work of your organisation or an organisation you know.”
