Community Fund

The Community Fund supports voluntary and community groups that help to prevent crime and keep communities safe.

Money for the Community Fund, which is jointly managed by the PCC and the Chief Constable, is created from the proceeds from the sale of items seized from criminals that cannot be returned to their rightful owners.

The Fund is open for applications twice a year for projects that help to achieve the objectives of the PCC’s Police and Crime Plan.

It provides an opportunity for community and voluntary groups to get involved and assist both the PCC and Thames Valley Police in tackling and reducing crime.

Details of the activities planned by our most recently funded organisations are available in the presentation event slideshow.
