GROUPS helping to address crime and antisocial behaviour and improve safety and security are being invited to apply for grants to further their work.

The Wiltshire and Swindon Community Foundation is for the third year distributing money from a fund set up by Wiltshire Police Authority aimed at helping local groups working in their own communities.

The Police and Crime Commissioners Fund raises money through the sale of unclaimed lost property and gives out grants of up to £3,000 twice a year.
