GROUPS across the Keighley district are being invited to apply for cash aid in the latest round of Safer Communities Fund grants.

The pot – containing cash seized from criminals – is administered by West Yorkshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Mark Burns-Williamson.

Since the fund was launched five years ago, over £2.8 million has been distributed to more than 660 projects.

In the latest round, £140,000 is up for grabs. Groups can apply for grants of up to £6,000.

Applications are particularly invited from projects covering road safety, burglary, ‘honour’-based abuse, cyber crime, human trafficking and modern slavery, or missing people.

For more details, visit westyorkshire-pcc.gov.uk/safer-communities-fund/how-to-apply.aspx or call 01924 294000.
