The Police and Crime Commissioner’s Fund offers grants of £2,500 to £20,000 each year to support projects that make our communities safer. Whether it’s reducing crime, tackling disorder, or helping victims rebuild their lives, this fund is here to back initiatives that make a real difference.
Managed by Suffolk Community Foundation, the fund typically opens four times a year, giving local organisations regular opportunities to apply. Each year, the PCC invests £300,000 into community-led safety and support projects.
