West Yorkshire organisations have one week left to apply for a share of £500,000 of cash seized from criminals.
The Mayor’s Safer Communities Fund allows voluntary, community groups, charities and partners to apply for funding.
Grant Round 6 of the Mayors Safer Communities Fund, which made up to £500,000 available to groups and organisations across West Yorkshire, has now closed.
Applications of up to £10,000 were invited to support the priorities in the Police and Crime Plan:
Anyone delivering in any part of West Yorkshire across Bradford, Calderdale, Leeds, Kirklees and Wakefield Districts could apply.
Additionally, and for the first time, the fund was also open to projects which will deliver the BUILD element of Clear, Hold Build (CHB) in three Home Office pilot areas across West Yorkshire.
CHB is a framework designed to improve the local response to tackling serious and organised crime threats, and we invited projects delivering in BD3 in Bradford, Harehills in Leeds, and Ashbrow in Kirklees to apply. Find out more about Clear, Hold, Build.
The fund closed on midday on Thursday 13 June.

West Yorkshire organisations have one week left to apply for a share of £500,000 of cash seized from criminals.
Half a million pounds of cash recovered from criminals is to be re-invested into community safety projects.
The Mayor's Safer Communities Fund takes money recovered from criminal activities, and grants it to community-based projects that are making their local area safer.
The Mayor’s fund is financed from monies recovered by West Yorkshire Police under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA). The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 lets the police and prosecutors confiscate or recover the proceeds of crime from criminals.
