Comic Relief would welcome good quality bids from Wales which meet the criteria of our “Safer Lives” theme. The theme focuses on reducing violence, abuse and exploitation and will therefore result in people:

• avoiding entering harmful or risky situations,
• experiencing less harm from past or present violence, abuse and exploitation,
• leaving violent, abusive or exploitative situations.

Please see website www.comicrelief.com for full details and an electronic application form.

Domestic violence and sexual abuse are more commonly the issues tackled under this theme, though the above criteria also have the potential to be met when addressing issues such as homelessness, drug and alcohol misuse, mental health problems, refugees and asylum seekers, elder abuse, bullying and gangs.
