Message from Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner Kim McGuinness:

Things are really tough for everyone right now. Across the region hundreds of organisations are facing an unprecedented challenge in how they support families and vulnerable people and help prevent crime following the outbreak of the Coronavirus.

So, I’ve decided to bring forward my annual £200,000 community fund as a new project designed to help local charities and community groups to continue their vital work.

With immediate effect from today (Monday 30 March), my office will take applications for grants of up to £5k to help sustain the delivery of crucial community projects that have been impacted by the current global health crisis.

I will welcome applications from a variety of organisations including those helping people at risk of domestic abuse and organisations helping young people experiencing abuse, neglect or the impacts of poverty now the stability and support of schools has been taken away.

We have many fantastic services across Northumbria all playing an important part in the region’s response to the current crisis in some way and I wanted to get some financial help out there as soon as possible, so please, get your applications in now. 

We’ll get through this,

Kim
