Our current priorities?
We want the grants made from the Somerset Crimebeat Trust to make a real difference to young people. We are particularly keen to hear from those working in our more disadvantaged communities. We will also prioritise applications that:
- Allow young people to tackle the problems of their community themselves
- Involve a cross section of your community
- Highlight the dangers of drug, solvent and alcohol abuse or address bullying or cyber-bullying
Most of our funding will go towards projects or activities in these priority areas. But we will also consider applications that clearly make a positive difference to disadvantaged people in other circumstances.
Applications can be made at any time, but are awarded quarterly by the panel.
The panel will meet on the 14th June, 13th September and the 13th December 2017.
If you would like your application to be considered on any one particular panel date, please ensure that we receive your application submission 5 weeks before the panel date.
