CASH seized from criminals is once again being offered to groups across the region. Grants of up to £6,000 are available in the latest round of the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner’s Safer Communities Fund. A total pot of £140,000 is up for grabs, comprising Proceeds of Crime Act money secured by police and prosecutors. The police and crime commissioner, Mark Burns-Williamson, said: “In these truly unprecedented times, we want to do all we can to help those most in need. “I would welcome a broad range of project applications across all of the priority areas set out in my police and crime plan. However, I am particularly looking for initiatives that support the more vulnerable – such as younger people or the elderly, women and girls, those with disabilities or victims harmed by crime. Early intervention and prevention projects and those offering therapy or support are also very welcome.
