CAN YOUR GROUP HELP US TACKLE CATAPULT CRIME?

/in News/by Clerk
Sheerness Town Council is looking for local organisations with ideas to help tackle the ongoing problem of catapult misuse, wildlife crime and associated anti-social behaviour in Sheerness.
We know enforcement alone will not solve the problem. We also want to support positive intervention, education and diversionary activities that engage with local young people.
We are inviting applications for Community Grant funding of up to £500 for projects that could make a practical difference.
We are particularly interested in projects involving:
• Youth outreach and engagement
• Activities aimed at young people who may be at risk of becoming involved in anti-social behaviour
• Education around catapult misuse and wildlife crime
• Wildlife and environmental projects that engage young people
• Positive evening, weekend or school holiday activities
• Sport, outdoor activities, mentoring or skills programmes
• New ideas that could help address the problem locally
You know your young people and your community. If your organisation has an idea that could help, we want to hear it.
Funding of up to £500 is available through Sheerness Town Council’s Community Grant Scheme.
Projects must benefit Sheerness residents and applicants will need to meet the requirements of the Community Grant Scheme.
For an application form or an informal discussion about your idea, contact office@sheerness-tc.co.uk.
Please share this with local youth organisations, charities, sports clubs and community groups that could help us make a difference
