The community fund was created following the launch of the Bridlington[1] South Clear, Hold, Build initiative at Bridlington Spa[2] in November. The fund totals GBP35,000 thanks to contributions from the East Riding Community Safety Partnership, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, SMILE Foundation and the Police and Crime Commissioner, Jonathan Evison. The fund will be operated through the Police and Crime Commissioner's Community Response Fund[3] (CRF), a democratic fund that allows the residents of Bridlington[4] to vote on projects they would like to see delivered in their area.

The Fund will supply up to GBP17,500 for two projects that support the delivery of the Clear, Hold, Build initiative in Bridlington South. The fund's administrators are seeking applications from projects which will help reduce instances of anti-social behaviour in this part of the town and provide positive opportunities in the local area. Applications for project funding must be made online by 23.59 on Monday, January 22.
