PCC funding available for charities now
Brighten up this Winter with PCC Funding
Cleveland Police and Crime Commissioner Steve Turner today launched a new initiative aimed at charities based in the Cleveland area.
The Brighter Days Fund will offer grants to eligible charities, to run projects between 1 January and 31 March 2023 with the aim of helping some of Cleveland’s most vulnerable residents.
The fund will support those who work with lonely, isolated and rural residents as well as those suffering from hardship.
Potential projects should aim to relieve loneliness or hardship and help decrease the incidence of stress, low mood and depression over the Winter period.
The funding recognises that social isolation and financial stress are likely to make people feel more vulnerable.
To apply for funding, you must:
- Be a registered charity
- Work with people in Cleveland to improve their lives
- Plan to run your project on this winter’s theme within the agreed time period
Deadline for applications: 1 December 2022.
Successful applicants must be prepared to give the OPCC a progress report, outlining how they have spent their grant and what difference it has made to the community.
