Community Safety Development Fund 2023/24

We are committed to working with our local voluntary and community sector partners to deliver on the ambitions of the Police and Crime Plan to keep our communities safe. 

Recognising the value of these groups, and the vital work they do for local communities, Roger Hirst, the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex has reopened the Community Safety Development Fund.

This £250,000 fund offers grants of up to £20,000 for community projects. 

The current round has now closed. 

 

 

Some CSDF success stories:

Firebreak Programme

The Essex County Fire and Rescue Service ‘Firebreak Programme’ aims to promote a culture of safety, team work and citizenship by teaching a range of vital life skills while undertaking the various disciplines of the Fire Service. The scheme is part funded by the Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner and provides a learning environment that combines practical skills and scenario based training.

Sue Pell – Essex Girls and Boys Club

The Essex Boys and Girls Clubs provide safe environments for young people to gather, away from the threat of drugs, alcohol or crime. Their ethos is engaging young people in adventurous activities, sports and arts to foster a positive impact on their lives. You can watch the video to learn more about the fantastic work Sue and her colleagues do.

Street Pastors

Street Pastors is an interdenominational church response to the issues of local communities. Pastors provide a Christian presence on the streets in local communities in order to listen, care and help. They support patrons of the late economy without discrimination on any grounds. To look at how the CSDF benefits the scheme you can watch the following video.

CARA

CARA (Centre for Action on Rape and Abuse) works with victims and survivors of sexual violence and child sexual abuse, providing independent, specialist support and promoting and representing their rights and needs.

In addition to its core work supporting victims and survivors of sexual violence and child sexual abuse, the charity undertakes a range of preventative work, including working with schools as they support child victims of sexual violence, works with Essex University and supports community safety partnerships in mid and north Essex with preventative campaigns.
