FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

The Security Industry Authority is offering confiscated cash to charities and community interest companies that have projects aimed at improving public safety and supporting private security. The money comes from criminals through proceeds of crime confiscation orders. In previous years, the programme has funded projects including human trafficking awareness workshops, employment and training opportunities for disadvantaged groups and training for volunteers in emergency first response care.

To provide support for charities, community groups, social enterprises and other not-for-profit organisations delivering projects that fit the objectives of the Foundation:

Aims to support projects between £3,000-£9,999 that will develop community assets to create greater opportunities for physical activity. This fund can support Essex local authority area projects that help currently inactive residents to lead active and healthy lives and allow for more inclusive opportunities to take place.

Small grants are available to groups and organisations in Essex County Council areas and Southend only to support working with young people involved in the criminal justice system or at risk of criminal behaviour and exploitation.

Grants available for local and national charities in England and Wales who are working with children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

If your charity, voluntary or community organisation is based or working in Essex and needs financial support, Essex Community Foundation may be able to help.

This is applicable where the grassroots organisation has an income band of less than £10,000 (as per the NVCO definition), supports the ambitions of Everyone Essex and there is a pay wall in place which might otherwise preclude them from accessing support.

Funding can be used for:

• Core costs
• Specific projects
• Training opportunities
• Capital items (limited)
