The Community Safety Services Fund
The Community Safety Services Fund is available to any local community group or organisation in North Yorkshire or City of York; however the proposed project must benefit North Yorkshire communities directly and be supported by the appropriate Community Safety Partnership (Safer York Partnership or North Yorkshire Community Safety Partnership).

The maximum amount available for each application to this fund is £20,000.

Community Safety District Level Funding
From April 2022 to March 2023, the Commissioner has committed to providing community safety services funding through Safer York and the North Yorkshire Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) to enable responsible authorities to react to emerging local community safety needs and demands for target hardening services, respond to emerging local community safety concerns or immediate crime and ASB reduction requirements and conduct planned targeted communications and social marketing interventions that link to local or strategic priorities.
The total funding available to the CSPs will be split by geographic area relative to the need and demand for community safety services, based on NYP data in relation to:
- Reported incidents of crime (volume);
- Reported incidents of anti-social behaviour (ASB volume);
- Reported incidents of public safety and welfare (PSW volume); Victims of crime; and
- Aggrieved / people reporting ASB or PSW.
