## Description

\*\*\*\*THIS IS FOR GRANT FUNDING AND NOT A CONTRACT\*\*\* The purpose of this grant is to support the VCSE Sector in developing its role in reducing re-offending by providing it with practical resources, up to date information on key Criminal Justice developments, and support with income generation\.

The VCSE Infrastructure Grant provides vital support to Third Sector organisations engaged with the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales\. The grant enables effective engagement and co-production with the sector, including with those specialist and niche providers whose involvement is key to ensuring that the men, women and children in our care are effectively supported\.
