Police Property Act Fund Opens for New Round of Applications
Community groups and charities across Kent are being invited to apply for grants as the latest round of the Police Property Act Fund is now open.
The fund is generated from the sale, at auction, of items seized in police operations that cannot be reclaimed. The funds generated are then used to support Registered Charities, Social Enterprise, Constituted Groups or Community Interest Companies (CICs).
Organisations who have a clear connection to Kent and undertake work that benefits the local community and promote safety and wellbeing are invited to apply for funding to support their projects.
In the previous Autumn round, £88,031.86 was awarded to 49 organisations. Projects supported included:
- Boxing and personal safety sessions for women and young girls, helping build confidence and resilience.
- Counselling services for survivors of domestic abuse across West Kent, providing vital emotional and therapeutic support.
- Training opportunities for disadvantaged or at‑risk young people, enabling them to gain their Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) Green Labourer Card to access employment.
- Delivery of “I Didn’t Know That!” workshops, educating school‑aged young people on gangs, knife crime, and personal safety.
Matthew Scott Says:
“Autumn’s round of funding allowed us to support nearly 50 organisations to deliver a wide range of projects across Kent, from supporting survivors of domestic abuse to providing safety sessions for young people and improving local security measures.
The Police Property Act Fund allows us to give something back to the community by supporting organisations that help cut crime, support victims and keep people safe.
I’m pleased to be opening a new round of funding and look forward to seeing the positive impact these grants will have across Kent.”
