PFCC Community Safety Development Fund Applications now open

Did you know that the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex has a Community Safety Development Fund to support projects that help prevent crime and tackle anti-social behaviour in Essex? During the last financial year, the Fund distributed £300,000 to 30 organisations across Essex that demonstrated support to the Police and Crime Plan Priorities from the Community Safety Development Fund. Roger Hirst, the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex said: “Across Essex we have a huge number of voluntary and community groups working within their communities, solving local problems and make a vital contribution in  helping to build safe and secure communities. “Empowering local communities, supporting innovation and rewarding those groups that achieve practical results at a grass roots level is an important way to keep our county safe and our communities strong and resilient.” If you are interested in applying for a grant for your group or project please go to https://www.essex.pfcc.police.uk/what-we-are-doing/police-and-crime-plan/community-safety-development-fund/ to find out more.
