Partners Assuring a Safer Staffordshire (PASS) is a registered charity that was formed to provide funding for positive community action to reduce crime and the fear of crime.

What type of projects do PASS contribute to?

In order to qualify for funding your project must meet one of the charity's objectives. So if you have a project that falls within one of the following criteria - then PASS wants to hear from you.

Does your project:

• encourage greater public participation to prevent and solve crime? 
• provide assistance in measures designed to reduce the level and fear of crime within Staffordshire
• provide educational information and practical assistance on crime prevention?

The trustees of Partners Assuring a Safer Staffordshire (PASS) announce each year a round of grants to improve community safety and reduce crime. Groups and organisations from across Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent may apply for a grant from £20 up to £2,000 to support their initiative. Some funding towards the total project cost must also be raised by the group.

The trustees particularly look for projects that can reduce the causes of anti social behaviour and provide greater cohesion between community members. PASS grants have been awarded to groups that have worked closely with community police officers to provide activities for young people to get involved, these have included boxing, fishing, setting up youth cafes and community gardens. Grants have also been given to secure community buildings: to provide a sense of security to users, prevent vandalism and ensure the community has a centre where they can meet."
