Community funding offer

The Kent Police and Crime Commissioner is inviting applications for funding for projects which make communities feel safer, cut crime or reduce offending.

Matthew Scott is looking to invest more than £94,000 from his Safer in Kent fund, which is earmarked for voluntary, charity and community groups, although schools and organisations are also allowed to bid.

The maximum available for a single local project is £10,000 and the closing date for bids is October 20. Visit www. kent-pcc.gov.uk/what-we-do/ commissioning/funds/safer-inkent-fund.
