Objectives of Fund

The funding is for projects that will contribute to reducing crime/antisocial behaviour and/or improving community safety, supporting the delivery of the Police and Crime Plan (2024-2029), which has three aims:

Engaged, Resilient and Inclusive Communities.
Safer Communities.
Effective Organisations.

There is particular interest in projects which can demonstrate a contribution to delivering multiple objectives of the Police and Crime Plan.

Value Notes

There is a funding pot of £1.6 million between 2025/26 and 2028/29.

Small grants: £500 to £5,000 (maximum project size £25,000).

In exceptional cases the PCC may be able to provide funding greater than £35,000 to strategically important projects that will have a substantial impact on communities.
