1 Assets Recovery Community Scheme
The purpose of the ARCS fund is to provide start-up funding to projects that will be ongoing, or one-off funding to time-limited projects. ARCS funding is not intended to serve as gap funding or to support salary costs in the long term. It is not intended to fund capital projects or schemes already funded or delivered through other service providers.
To be eligible for funding projects must be designed to prevent crime or reduce the fear of crime and therefore contribute to a safe community where we respect the law, and each other.
Organisations applying for funding must clearly demonstrate how the project will directly benefit victims, communities and/or the environment.
Applications for the 2018/19 scheme are open from 6 August 2018 to 3 September 2018.

It will take place in Austria between Wednesday 3rd October (Arrival Day) and Wednesday 10th October (Departure Day) 2018.
Funded by the Erasmus+ programme, ‘CRE-ACTIVE' will gather together twenty-nine practitioners (including the training team) from 10 countries across Europe - among them - Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Portugal and Estonia, to consider how creativity can be used to support employment.
The training will focus on improving the competences and motivation of young people through the use of creativity in order to achieve more sustainable and desirable work placements.
Objectives include:

- experiencing, discussing and sharing cultural backgrounds and using self-assessment as a method of achieving added value for employment;
- looking at different new competences to secure employment in a creative way;

Food and Accommodation is provided free of charge whilst travel will be reimbursed (up to a maximum of €275) following completion of the programme.
We are looking to recruit two practitioners, be that young leaders (18-30), youth work practitioners or practitioners with a remit for young people who are not only willing to actively and fully participate in the programme but are prepared to engage in post-programme activity that ensures that learning is maximised and shared within their organisation and/or willing to initiate activity with unemployed young people.
