Community projects to benefit from new funding arrangements

Community projects, initiatives and activities in Staffordshire will benefit from a share of £495,000 from April 2026 thanks to funding from the Police, Fire & Rescue and Crime Commissioner.

Projects that aim to address community safety priorities, such as reducing crime and anti-social behaviour, will be able to bid into a pot of £100,000 as part of the Commissioner’s Community Safety Fund.

An additional £10,000 will also be given to each of the Staffordshire Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs), with £20,000 awarded to Stoke-on-Trent CSP, to tackle issues identified by residents.

Alongside funding allocated to CSPs, the total also includes:

£10,000 awarded to each of the 10 Local Policing Teams in Staffordshire to address priorities set by the Government’s Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee.

£180,000 contribution towards the Staffordshire Space Programme which funds activities for children over the summer holidays.

£200 towards the cost of Independent Chairs for ASB Case Reviews on request.

A Community Safety Strategic Assessment refresh for each CSP and one for Staffordshire.
