Purpose

The Office of the Police and Crime
Commissioner (PCC) for West Mercia and West Mercia Police are
investing £250,000 into the safer communities grant scheme in
Herefordshire. The investment from Herefordshire Council’s
All Age Social Care budget that this decision will enable is match
funding for the PCC funding and will extend the benefits of the
grant scheme.

The Safer Communities Grant Scheme will support new and existing
projects that focus on early prevention, tackling the root causes
of crime, vulnerability, exploitation and anti-social behaviour
within the county, specifically focusing on children and young
people.
