SIR – I am a fundraiser for BPA Juniors FC which is entirely run by volunteers and has several junior teams ranging from under-8s to under-18s across mainly North and East Bradford.

We are constantly trying to raise funds as best we can and I would like to record our thanks to the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Mark Burns-Williamson and his Safer Communities Engagement Team, who recently awarded our club £4,000.

The next stage of award applications opens on May 12 and closes on June 13 and details are on the West Yorkshire Police Commissioner’s website under the Safer Communities initiative.

The majority of funding for the Safer Communities initiative is from the Proceeds of Crime fund.
