Operation Relentless Community Fund returns to help tackle ASB

Hi Resident

The Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner is inviting community groups and organisations across Dorset to apply for the next round of the Operation Relentless Community Fund.

The fund supports projects that help prevent and tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB), strengthen communities, and protect vulnerable people. It forms part of the PCC’s ongoing work to address ASB in Dorset, which is now at its lowest level of reported incidents in 16  years.

Grants are available to support initiatives that engage young people, divert individuals away from violence or criminality, and build resilience within local communities. Voluntary and community sector organisations, charities, and other eligible groups are encouraged to apply.

The Operation Relentless Community Fund has previously supported a wide range of projects across Dorset including but not limited to; diversionary activities for young people including football training, skateboarding and sailing, employability support for those who have been to prison and community outreach work.

Details on eligibility, application criteria, and deadlines are available via the Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner’s website.
