Police and Crime Commissioner announces funding for community groups

Police and Crime Commissioner Jane Mudd is investing in initiatives that support her Police, Crime and Justice Plan.

The Commissioner’s Community Fund offers grants between £1,000 and £50,000 towards projects that tackle crime and antisocial behaviour, support victims and vulnerable people, and build community cohesion.

It aims to enable community-led organisations to deliver sustained projects that benefit local people and prioritises initiatives that support children and young people.

Police and Crime Commissioner Jane Mudd said: “Our residents want to live in safer, stronger communities where everyone feels supported and protected. They want action that addresses the root causes of crime and meaningful support for those who are most vulnerable. These are challenges that policing cannot solve alone.

“Our communities hold the power to create lasting change, and they are often best placed to lead the way. To do so, they need the right support, and I’m proud to be investing in that potential and using money recovered from criminal activity to help build a fairer, safer society.

“If you have a project that can help reduce crime or antisocial behaviour, support vulnerable people, or bring communities together to build trust and confidence, I want to hear from you. Together, we can make a real difference.”
