Progress to Change is encouraging any individual, or small community-based group, to apply for a small grant to assist in supporting a planned activity which will enhance the quality of life of those taking part.

Applications from individuals can be submitted for up to £1,000, and community groups or organisations up to £2,000.

In exceptional circumstances a grant of up to £5,000 may also be considered.

Funding can be applied to cover any costs, but an individual, community group, or organisation must be able to show that the activity will improve the life opportunities for those who have been affected by crime.

Organisations may only apply for funding once in any financial year.
