Spring Activity Fund

A key priority in the PCC’s 2021-24 Police and Crime Plan is ‘Tackling antisocial behaviour head on.’

In response to issues with antisocial behaviour, Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Steve Turner has developed the Spring Activity Fund.

The Spring Activity Fund allows charities to bid for one-off grants for positive activities for young people during the February half term and Easter school holidays 2024.

What is the Spring Activity Fund?

The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) has made funding available to enable local charities to access a one-off grant that works towards one (or more) of the below points:

• Reducing ASB
• Diverting people away from ASB
• Encouraging positive solutions that overcome the issues that communities face as a result of ASB
• Building resilience in communities to respond to ASB
• Supporting early intervention approaches to ASB

Applicants are able to apply for a maximum of £4,000 per project which must be delivered during the February half term and Easter school holidays 2024. Applications do not have to cover both holiday periods, but any applications only covering one holiday period would be able to apply for a maximum of £2,000. Consortium bids are welcomed to a maximum amount of £8,000 (£4,000 per holiday period).
