Funding for Crime Prevention and Community Safety

The fund aims to work with voluntary bodies and community groups in Merseyside to support community safety, crime prevention and security initiatives in their locality.

All applications must meet the following objectives of the fund: 

• To promote a safer and increased quality of life through the prevention of crime and the protection of people and property from criminal acts for the benefit of the public in and around Merseyside.

• To secure the advancement of education for the public benefit in all matters relating to community safety.

• To increase provision of diversionary activities and facilities that target young people to reduce crime and anti social behaviour.

Grants will normally range from £500 to £2500 and may be less than the figure applied for. In exceptional circumstances, grants of higher value may be 
considered.
