Good morning Resident,
Matthew Barber, Police & Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley, and Jason Hogg, Chief Constable for Thames Valley Police, have opened the first round of this year’s Community Fund.
The Community Fund helps to prevent crime and keep communities safe. Money for the scheme is created from the proceeds from the sale of items seized from criminals that cannot be returned to their rightful owners.
Community organisations across Thames Valley can apply for a grant of up to £10,000 for projects that support one of the PCC’s Police and Crime Plan key priorities:
Protecting Communities (including anti-social behaviour and road safety) Protecting People (including domestic abuse and the night-time economy) Protecting Property (including cybercrime and fraud and retail crime)
Organisations are eligible to apply if they have not received funding through the Community Fund within the last 12 months. Further information on eligibility to apply can be found within the guidance document.
In the previous round, organisations received funding for a variety of projects including:
Programmes for young people working to build self-esteem and independence, providing early intervention support to prevent anti-social behaviour and offending Projects for young men that break the cycles of isolation and offending Vehicle activated speed road signs with the aim of improving road safety Anti-spike drinks covers to improve safety in the night time economy Purchase of CCTV in order to reduce anti-social behaviour and crime
The closing date for this round of applications is 12pm (noon) on Monday 23rd February 2026 and applications will be considered jointly by the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) and the Chief Constable.
