The Police and Crime Commissioner’s Youth Fund has been set up using the proceeds of criminal activity.

Its aim is to ensure young people living in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough are deterred from getting involved in crime.

Voluntary and community organisations based in the county, who are working with young people aged between 5 and 18, or up to 25 years old for those with Special Educational Needs or disabilities, are invited to bid for up to £3,500.

Applications need to show how they meet the aims of the fund, which are to ensure that young people who may be at risk of becoming involved in criminal and anti-social activities are deterred from doing so, by:

• having safe spaces to gather and activities available which help them develop and become resilient adults;
• being given opportunities to use their spare time constructively through volunteer schemes which help their community;
• being listened to and having the chance to help shape local services and projects in their community which prevent those at risk from getting involved in crime.

Applications will need to show how they can help the Commissioner achieve the above aims.

Details of successful bids that have been awarded can be found below.

The Application Guidance and Application Form are also available below.
