All Crime and Disorder

Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd is recruiting for volunteer Appropriate Adults and Independent Custody Visitors across Greater Manchester. They are especially interested in hearing from applicants from black and minority ethnic groups.

Appropriate Adults
Appropriate adults provide support and guidance to young and vulnerable people who have been arrested and have no parent or carer to call on.

Grants from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) are available to VCSE organisations that deliver community-based services to women offenders in Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside and Wigan (1 grant allocation per district).

GMCVO is working with the PCC to help voluntary organisations access this opportunity for funding, which aims to ensure that there is a minimum standard of provision for all women across Greater Manchester. (The other four authority areas already have VCSE providers that deliver to this standard).
