Operation Payback Fund
Cullercoats Collective have successfully recieved funding for Cullercoats Ambassadors and community events from the Operation Payback Fund
We have been waiting a long time to share this news with you all and finally that moment is here. In the week we officially launched Cullercoats Collective in March of this year we received news that we had been successful in a funding application to the Operation Payback fund provided by Police and Crime Commissioner, Kim McGuinness using money from the proceeds of crime.
Kim said, “I am really pleased to support the fantastic work of Cullercoats Collective in making Cullercoats a safe and enjoyable place to live. The funding I have provided through my Operation Payback Fund will increase the work already undertaken by the team and specifically aim to reduce ASB through the provision of diversionary activities and the recruitment of Beach ambassadors. I look forward to hearing how the project develops and the positive difference this will make to all who live or visit the area.”
We have already begun to put this money to good use through the recruitment of Cullercoats Ambassadors, who will provide a welcoming and positive presences as well as getting involved in community projects. You may have already seen them out on the streets on 8th May and they will be visible around Cullercoats in the coming weeks and months. We are also putting the finishing touches to a number of small events aimed at both Cullercoats residents and visitors over the summer and beyond.
If you would like to know more or you would like to find out about volunteer opportunities with us then please contact us via a direct message or through the contact forms on our website.
