Grant Directories

The Police Property Act Fund was created from the proceeds of sale of goods recovered by the police that cannot be returned to their original owner. In accordance with the Police Property Act Regulations (1997) all awards from the fund must be for charitable purposes. Applications to be considered jointly by the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) and the Chief Constable will be from local voluntary and community groups working to improve the lives of people in the Thames Valley Police area. Applicants must demonstrate that their project or activity contributes to meeting the PCC's objective of ‘Reducing Crime by Reducing Re-offending'.

The commissioning team of the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner for Gloucestershire makes grants to charities and other organisations each year that address at least one of the six priorities that make up the Police and Crime Plan. These are: Accessibility and accountability; older but not overlooked; young people becoming adults; safe days and nights for all; safe and social driving; safer cyber. The PCC aims to support the right people to act as advocates for their communities or areas; to ensure the applicant is best placed to understand what is required to help their project(s) make a real difference and to ensure there is a benefit to the local community.
