Community Cashback
A new fund, Community Cashback, is being made available through the local LCJBs to give local people a direct say in how ill-gotten gains seized from criminals can be used to benefit their communities in the fight against crime.
The £4 million Community Cashback scheme is being funded by money and assets seized from wealthy criminals. This is an opportunity for the public to choose worthwhile community projects by adding their views to a new dedicated website, at neighbourhood policing meetings or through Citizens' Panels.
These local projects might include renovating a vandalised play area, investing in a youth centre or installing security measures on a housing estate.
Please note that the deadline for nominating projects for Community Cashback funding is 5pm, 7th September 2009.
