Community Cashback - seizing cash from criminals
Community Cashback gives Gloucestershire people a say in how assets recovered from criminals (for example, confiscated cash or property) should be spent in our community. During the summer of 2009, members of the public, community groups and organisations were able to submit bids for projects which tackle crime and disorder in their local area.
The successful projects which received funding are listed below and more information can be found by following the links on the left.
