Community Fund grants available to community groups to help prevent crime across Thames Valley
Matthew Barber, Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) has opened the latest round of applications to his Community Fund.
The Community Fund provides a bi-annual grant funding opportunity to both voluntary and community groups across the Thames Valley.
The fund, jointly managed by the PCC and the Chief Constable, helps to prevent crime and keep communities safe. Money for the scheme comes from the sale of items seized from criminals that cannot be returned to their rightful owners.
Organisations from across the Thames Valley can apply for grants for projects that support one or more of the PCC’s 'Police and Criminal Justice Plan (opens in new window)' priorities:
Strong Local Policing (preventing crime & protecting communities)
- Fighting Serious Organised Crime (protecting vulnerable people)
- Fighting Fraud & Cybercrime (fighting modern crimes)
- Improving the Criminal Justice System (reducing re-offending)
- Tackling illegal encampments (reducing the impact of encampments)
The closing date for this round of applications is 12pm on Monday 12th September and applications will be considered jointly by the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) and the Chief Constable.
