The Home Office has announced a new £500,000 fund for Neighbourhood Watch and Home
Watch groups.

 

The Neighbourhood and Home Watch Fund will make grants of between £1,000 and £50,000
to help Neighbourhood and Home Watch schemes to reach more people in helping them
to secure their homes, warn them about crime in their area and take action to prevent
it, and know how to prevent distraction burglary.

The fund is being managed on behalf of the Home Office by Tribal’s Community Development
Team.

 

The closing date for applications is midday on 31 July 2009.

 

As well as this fund, there is also the [Safer Homes Fund](http://grantsadmin.co.uk/saferhomes).
This is a £6 million programme

for voluntary and community sector organisations designed to help them offer support
to improve home security for people who live in areas disproportionately affected
by crime and who are known to have lower rates of home security.
