Charities
The High Sheriff specifically supports Crimebeat, a long-standing tradition of the Shrievalty in Warwickshire. Crimebeat offers funding for community projects designed and developed by the young people in our community. This is a charity whose mission is to encourage young people (aged between 5 and 25) to get involved with crime reduction activities. They make their own contribution to prevent crime, improve the quality of life and create safer communities.
The High Sheriff will also be working with the ‘Fit and Fed’ project run by the charity Streetgames, which encourages young people in deprived areas, between the ages of 5 and 16 into sport through a safe and caring environment. She is looking at charities introduced to him by the Heart of England Community Foundation and is particularly interested in small charities that find fund raising and support more difficult.
