The Rochdale Safer Communities Partnership is accepting applications to the Voluntary and Community Grant Scheme, now in its fourth year. The scheme provides funding to applicants whose work contributes towards the partnership’s priorities.
Rochdale Borough prides itself on its spirit of co-operation and working in partnership, and for being home to strong, vibrant and cohesive communities. Diversity is one of their strengths, with their townships being home to numerous distinctive communities.
Their priorities are informed through analysis of crime and community safety data, and by listening to the views of those living and working in the borough. They reflect their most pressing community safety issues and are underpinned by an overarching commitment to safeguard and protect the most vulnerable people in society.
Local groups from the voluntary, not-for-profit and charitable sector can apply for grant funding to support a safer borough.
