Grants for projects which make communities safer are now available for the second year running from the Bath and North East Somerset Community Safety & Safeguarding Partnership.

The Violence Reduction Grants from £200 up to £4,000 are open for applications for community projects working towards preventing and reducing violence across the area. The scheme ran for the first time last year and helped to provide positive activities and opportunities for young people vulnerable to violence.

The projects that were successful in securing funding included a graffiti project and a Street to Studio Music Project organised by Youth Connect South West.
