The Secretary of State for the Home Department (the "Authority"), acting through the Neighbourhood Crime Unit, intends to make an amount up to £75,000,000 of grant funding available (£50,000,000 per financial year, over an 18-month period). Approximately £2,600,000 of the funding, per financial year, will be reserved for support to successful areas, central evaluation and other activity to support delivery of the Fund and help prevent neighbourhood crime. The remaining £69,800,000 will be available to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) within England and Wales, who may in turn delegate to a Local Authority within their area to lead and submit a bid. The British Transport Police are also eligible to bid for funding, as are certain eligible Civil Society Organisations. This funding will be granted during the 2022-23 and 2023-24 financial years, across an 18-month period, and all Government funding allocations must be spent by the end of September 2023. The Funding is to be awarded through a fair, open and transparent competition by means of a Call for Proposals and will support bidders to invest in interventions to target neighbourhood crimes (burglary, robbery, theft from person, vehicle crime), Anti-Social Behaviour, and Violence against Women and Girls in public spaces/improving feelings of public safety. The primary aims of the Fund are to:
• Reduce neighbourhood crimes.
• Make local areas safer and reduce demand on the police to focus on higher harm crimes.
• Reduce Anti-Social Behaviour incidents, making individuals and communities safer.
• Change attitudes and behaviours towards Violence against Women and Girls in public places.
• Improve feelings of safety for everyone, in particular women and girls' feelings of safety in public spaces and the night-time economy.
• Build the evidence base for what works on reducing neighbourhood crimes and Anti-Social Behaviour and for changing attitudes and behaviours in relation to Violence against Women and Girls in the public domain;
• Increase local area trust in policing and local government and their activities within the community.
