The PCSP Small Grants Programme has been developed to support community and voluntary organisations to deliver diversionary and detached youth engagement projects which will target areas of anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the Borough.

The Small Grants Programme will open on Thursday 25 April 2024 and application packs will be available below.

The purpose of the Small Grants Programme is to develop community safety awareness amongst young people to tackle ASB in local neighbourhoods and encourage positive lifestyles.

Projects must demonstrate that they can address ASB in hotspot areas where groups gather and engage in a range of negative behaviour including substance abuse, criminal damage, disruption, nuisance, street drinking, trespassing, drug trafficking and rowdy or inconsiderate behaviour.

Funding Available:

The total amount allocated to the Small Grants Programme is £28,000, and the maximum grant available to each project is £4600.

Prospective applicants should note that all offers of funding are conditional and subject to the necessary budgets being secured by the PCSP.
