We have specific funding for projects across Strabane Town that meet the aims and objectives of community safety across two strategic priorities:
- To improve community safety by prioritising and addressing local community safety issues, tackling crime and anti-social behaviour
- To promote confidence in our emergency services including through collaborative problem solving with communities.
The Strabane Neighbourhood Renewal / Local Growth Partnership have developed an Action Plan to deliver that funding on a consensual basis to projects. The following action identified in our Action Plan:
Work with local sporting clubs / community organisations to deliver sporting programmes / blitzes for young people during unstructured times / holidays, providing diversionary activities for at least 250 young people.
These programmes will incorporate community safety information sessions around drugs/ alcohol / community safety and will be delivered in partnership with relevant agencies.
Local sports groups are encouraged to complete this short proposal form to help deliver this action. Proposals must be based in Strabane Town and benefit participants that live in Strabane Town.
