Organisations in Bucks have a week left to apply for £200,000 of grant funding to help prevent crime.

The Community Fund, jointly managed by the PCC and the Chief Constable, helps to prevent crime and keep communities safe.

Money for the scheme is created from the proceeds from the sale of items seized from criminals that cannot be returned to their rightful owners.

A total of £200,000 of grant funding is available for community and voluntary groups to apply for, with the aim of reducing crime across the Thames Valley.
