Rural Crime Thematic Grants
The PCC is seeking to fund projects and initiatives that meet one or more of the
following criteria:
• Crime prevention projects to reduce the risk of rural crime either via physical crime prevention measures or through the dissemination of information and advice
• Community engagement activity to increase trust and confidence in the police among rural communities and improve confidence or opportunities to report crime and ASB
• Education and professional development to better equip police and practitioners in understanding the issues and needs of rural communities
• Work with Notts Victim CARE to ensure rural victims are able to access support services.
Outcomes
We are particularly interested in interventions which seek to impact some or all of the
following outcomes for participants:
• Improvements in the police and partnership response to rural crime locally
• Increases in the proportion of rural crime reported to police
• Increases in trust and confidence in the police in rural localities
• Improvements in satisfaction and service outcomes among victims of rural crime

VAWG Consultation
We’re now promoting the consultation on the draft VAWG strategy we have worked with the sector to produce.
If you are able to, please can you share this on your organisation’s social media to ensure a far and wide spread. I have attached two social media graphics for you to use, one for Instagram/Twitter and the other for Facebook/ LinkedIn.
Below is the wording and the link we have used for our posts, please feel free to use and adapt as you wish.
Your views could help shape how police and partner agencies tackle violence against women and girls.
A new strategy is being developed by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire alongside experts from local organisations – but we also want to hear feedback from members of the public.
You don’t need to be an expert on the subject, we just want to hear your views 
The consultation ends on 24 February 2023, to take part please visit: https://www.ibyd.com/vawg
The social media posts are sharing the online survey element of the consultation which will be reported on alongside the field work carried out.
Later this month we’ll also be launching the first of our two Community Chest funding opportunities, please follow us on social media to see regular updates or subscribe to PCC Caroline Henry’s monthly newsletter by visiting: https://forms.office.com/r/ZXgx5NTkdB
