The Community Fund (previously known as the Police Property Act Fund) supports voluntary and community groups that help to prevent crime and keep communities safe.

The Community Fund (previously known as the Police Property Act Fund) supports voluntary and community groups that help to prevent crime and keep communities safe.

Money for the scheme, 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 Criminal Justice Plan.

This Fund is an opportunity for Community and Voluntary Groups to get involved and assist both the PCC and Thames Valley Police in tackling and reducing crime.
