The Derbyshire High Sheriff Fund

The Derbyshire High Sheriff Fund supports projects across Derby and Derbyshire that address crime prevention, substance abuse education, and community safety. The fund has three key strands: improving understanding of crime, alcohol, drug and solvent abuse through education and risk reduction projects targeting children and young people; creating safer communities through crime prevention and anti-social behaviour solutions with a focus on youth safety; and supporting other worthwhile projects at the panel's discretion. The fund provides grants for revenue costs, capital costs, project work, and one-off events and activities. Applications are reviewed by a panel that meets twice a year, with a maximum grant amount of £2,500 available to organizations working throughout Derby and Derbyshire.
