Thames Valley organisations awarded over £105,000

Over £105,000 has been awarded to local voluntary and community organisations by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley.

The Community Fund scheme is made up of money from the sale of stolen property that cannot be returned to its rightful owners.

Over 190 organisations applied to the latest round with 39 being successful.

Among them includes - Aylesbury Youth Motor Project which has been given £10,000 and Buckingham Town Council given £2000.

Announcing the funding, Matthew Barber said: “I’m delighted to award this funding to 39 community and voluntary organisations, who are providing valuable services across the Thames Valley.

“Many of the communities benefitting from these funds will see improved CCTV, better provision for young people and support for groups making our streets safer after dark. A key element in my Police & Criminal Justice Plan is to enable organisations to collaborate and tackle local issues. These organisations are all working hard in support of my Police & Criminal Justice Plan priorities for the region. 

“It’s great to be able to provide this funding through the Community Fund, which is money that has been recovered from criminals, to support a range of projects across the Thames Valley.

“I continue to visit a number of previously funded organisations, to find out how this funding has benefitted them. This engagement work allows me to meet many organisations who are doing some fantastic work in reducing crime and supporting their local community.   

“I look forward to meeting this round’s successful recipients at our presentation event in March.”
