Local people, local ideas and local solutions for safe and healthy relationships
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for Greater Manchester Police to invest cash of up to £30,000 to promote healthier and safer relationships in Wythenshawe.
The funding set aside can be applied for in sums between £500 and £10,000. The projects chosen to be funded will be delivered for a 1 year period at a centre that is yet to be chosen.
Manchester City Council has been awarded £110,000 by the Police Innovation Fund to support domestic violence and abuse (DV&A) victims in the City. There are three distinct elements within the grant programme:
Early Help/Prevention
£40,000 of this money is to develop an early help/prevention service for low and medium risk cases of DV&A. At the moment there are no interventions available for low to medium risk couples who choose to stay together.
Manchester City Council has £20,000 to develop and deliver training in domestic violence and abuse (DV&A) awareness for Early Help Hub staff and Social Work teams. The full funding of £20,000 will be awarded to one successful applicant to provide a training programme for frontline workers. The programme will need to be delivered to all Early Help Hub staff and Social Work teams in local area venues arranged by MCC.

The Home Office is currently consulting on the formula it uses to fund the police. This is the calculation made which decides how much money is allocated from central Government to police services across the country. In Greater Manchester, police are funded through a combination this grant and money raised locally through council tax. Most of the money comes from the government and the police rely heavily on this grant to deliver policing services.
Based in Manchester and the West Midlands, Step Up is a two-year pilot programme for people with a learning disability or communication difficulty (PWLD/CD) aged 16 - 30 who have offended or are at risk of offending.
