Lancashire’s Police and Crime Commissioner is encouraging local organisations to apply for grants of up to £5,000, with just two weeks remaining before the first round closes.
The funding, which utilises cash seized from criminals, is open to support projects that help prevent crime and make Lancashire safer, with a particular focus on diversionary activity over the summer holiday period, when anti-social behaviour typically increases.
Local organisations, charities, community groups, and Parish and Town Councils can all apply for grants to deliver initiatives that support safer communities.
Priority will be given to projects focused on youth diversion and preventing violence against women and girls (VAWG).

Burnley Borough Council has opened applications for the Community Pride Small Grants Programme 2026/27.

The programme will support voluntary, community and faith organisations to deliver projects that strengthen community engagement, build resilience and independence, improve local neighbourhoods and increase community pride across Burnley.
​
Grants of between £1,000 and £10,000 are available for projects that will be delivered by 31 March 2027.
