The closing date for applications is Sunday, April 30. For more information and details of how to apply, visit www.northumbria-pcc.gov.uk“I really do appreciate the work these groups are doing in communities to support the priorities in my Police and Crime Plan,” Ms Baird said.

“This plan followed extensive consultation with the communities and neighbourhoods in the force area where the public told me about the issues they wanted to see police do more about.

“By helping these groups and projects to deliver local solutions to local issues, it further supports my plan by providing crucial assistance to the work being carried out by Northumbria Police.”
