The Police Property Act Fund is made up of monies received by the police from property confiscated by order of court and then sold. We administer the fund and consider applications from voluntary organisations and community groups within the Greater Manchester area.
The main aim of the fund is to support local projects undertaken by voluntary or charitable organisations that benefit the communities of Greater Manchester, especially those which have a positive impact in reducing crime and disorder at a local level.
The Police Property Act Fund Board initially vets applications before they are referred to the police authority for approval. This board consists of two members of the authority and the fund administrator. They submit a report to the full police authority, normally twice a year, with recommendations for awards. Due to reduced funding in 2011, however, applications will only be considered once this year.
We're currently accepting applications for the Police Property Act Fund. To submit an application, please read the letter to applicants and complete the application form and ethnic monitoring form as discussed in the guidance notes. The guidance notes clearly indicate what funding will and will not be granted for, so please read these carefully. These documents are all available to download on this page.
Please return your application form and ethnic monitoring form to:
Jenna Lancaster
Fund Administrator
Greater Manchester Police Authority
Salford Civic Centre
Chorley Road
Swinton, M27 5DA
Alternatively, the forms can be emailed to jenna.lancaster@gmpa.gov.uk.
The closing date for applications is Friday 6 July, 2012. The final decision with regards to funding will made at a meeting of the police authority in October, 2012. If you would like to speak to somebody about the Police Property Act Fund or would like to request a paper copy of the application pack, please contact Jenna Lancaster by telephone on 0161 793 2532 or by emailing jenna.lancaster@gmpa.gov.uk.
