Community Grants

FUND NOW OPEN

(Applications are open on a monthly rolling basis, closing on the last working day of each month and assessed with decisions made by the end of the following month)

Community organisations are invited to apply for for short‑term projects, one‑off events or pilot initiatives that align with PCC priorities and are delivered in partnership, with priority given to crime prevention, youth diversion and VAWG work. Partnership bids are encouraged, subject to a £5,000 cap per organisation without sponsorship, and all applications must be for clearly defined, non‑duplicative projects with a suitable organisational reference.

Member of Parliament (MP) Sponsored Grants

FUND NOW OPEN 

(Applications are open on a monthly rolling basis, closing on the last working day of each month and assessed with decisions made by the end of the following month)

The MP Fund supports constituency-focused initiatives that address local crime and safety concerns. It enables MPs to lead evidence-based projects that enhance community protection, reduce crime, and strengthen public confidence in policing.

MP’s may submit applications directly, or support community organisations to apply by way of sponsorship letter. All applications must have a reference from a referring or partnered organisation.

Proposals should be tailored to the specific needs of the area – such as tackling anti-social behaviour, improving youth safety, or fostering community cohesion – and must demonstrate clear, measurable outcomes.
