US EditionNorthwich and Winsford community projects to benefit from funding boost
- Cheshire police and crime commissioner Dan Price's SWAP Fund is providing funding to organizations in Mid Cheshire, including Northwich and Winsford, to create projects for positive change, particularly benefiting young people through various activities that empower them to make better choices.
- The SWAP Fund, which stands for Safety, Working Together, Action, and Prevention, repurposes money earned or acquired in a negative way for positive community change, aligning with the commissioner's priorities of improving community safety, supporting victims, and providing early intervention programs.
- Specifically, the funding will support the Youth Federation's Better Start project in Northwich, Cuddington and Sandiway Youth Club's computing and technology activities, and Young Enterprise's Learn to Earn project in Winsford, targeting disengaged youth and educating young people about job options.
- This year, the SWAP Fund awarded more than £110,000 across the county to 30 community projects, following almost £100,000 given to 28 projects at the end of 2024, with projects needing to demonstrate fulfillment of the commissioner's priorities to secure either an express grant of £1,000 or a main grant of £5,000.
- Commissioner Price stated, "Community projects have the power to have a real impact on crime... My £200,000 SWAP fund is the largest amount committed by a Cheshire PCC and sends a clear message to residents across the county that I will do what I can to help them feel safer in their area," and further SWAP funding will be released in 2025 with details to be announced later.
