Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Community Grants
Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner
The Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner's Community Grants help community organisations run short-term projects, one-off events or pilot initiatives that support the Commissioner's priorities. The Commissioner funds local services and projects that promote community safety, protect people from harm and support victims. Priority goes to crime prevention, youth diversion and work to tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG). Projects should be delivered in partnership, and partnership bids are encouraged. Without sponsorship, bids are capped at £5,000 per organisation. Your project must be clearly defined and must not duplicate other work. You will also need a suitable organisational reference, so line this up early. The fund is open now and runs on a monthly rolling basis. Each round closes on the last working day of the month. Applications are assessed and decisions are made by the end of the following month, so plan your project dates with that wait in mind. The £5,000 cap applies to organisations applying without sponsorship. Community Safety Partnerships and local MPs each run their own sponsored funds, and both can support community organisations to apply through a sponsorship letter. These run on the same monthly cycle. The Commissioner also publishes a separate application checklist for bids over £5,000. Before you apply, read the 2026-27 Grant Guidance and Criteria and the grants scoring matrix. The Commissioning Framework sets out the funding priorities, and every funding decision is published on the Commissioner's Decisions page. The Commissioner also runs a monthly drop-in session where you can ask questions, or you can email funding@lancashire-pcc.gov.uk. Official source: https://www.lancashire-pcc.gov.uk/grant-funding/.
