What's Going On?

The Police and Crime Commissioner’s ‘Prevention Fund – Small Grants’ was launched in May 2025, it is funded through the proceeds of criminal activity. It delivers against a priority set out in the Early Intervention and Prevention pillar of the Commissioner’s Police and Crime Plan 2025-2028.   

Community Safety Partnerships and voluntary and community organisations, based in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, are able to bid for up to £5,000 for local initiatives which help to prevent crime and anti-social behaviour and increase feelings of public safety.   

The aims of the fund are to enable organisations to deliver:  

• Local initiatives to prevent crime, Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) or anti-social behaviour  

• Pro-active work with children and young people who are, or are at risk of becoming, involved in criminal or anti-social activities   

• Activity within specific community locations which demonstrate visible responses to local crime and disorder issues   

• The empowerment of local communities to contribute to preventing crime and anti-social behaviour and increasing feeling of public safety
