A MESSAGE from the Essex Police and Crime Commissioner. 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 £300,000 fund offers grants of up to £20,000 for community projects. 

If you have a project which delivers against the priorities in the Police and Crime Plan please apply by Friday 17th of February 2023.

The criteria for the 2022-3 fund and a downloadable application form are available below. If you have any queries about this opportunity, or would like to discuss your application, please contact the PFCC’s office via [email protected] or 01245 291600
