Police and Crime Commissioner Rupert Matthews is calling on rural groups to urgently apply for funding to support efforts to prevent crime and anti-social behaviour before the deadline passes.

The first round of the PCC’s newly launched Community Action Programme (CAP) is offering statutory, voluntary and non-profit groups the chance to apply for exclusive funding to tackle and prevent rural criminality and better protect residents and businesses from rural criminals.

So far, more than £77k worth of funding has been applied for with just under £30k awarded so far.

The Rural Community Action Fund is open for bids until Friday 17th October 2025.

Further funding rounds will take place later in the year addressing the following themes: Road Safety, Violence and Vulnerability, Business Crime, Neighbourhood Crime and Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).
