Police Community Trust General Fund

The Avon and Somerset Police Community Trust General Fund provides grants to community and voluntary organizations in the Avon and Somerset police force area. Established in 1999, the Trust aims to help local communities become safer, better places to live. The fund supports projects focused on protecting people and property from crime, reducing anti-social behaviour, educating young people on dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, increasing community safety particularly for the young, vulnerable and elderly, and diverting young people away from crime. Trustees review applications quarterly with meetings in April, July, October and January. Grants typically range up to £1,000 and are awarded to support community safety initiatives that align with the Trust's core objectives of crime prevention and community development.
