The Home Office has announced this new grant fund to encourage creative new approaches to tackling crime.

Worth £5 million in 2011/12, with a further £5 million set aside for 2012/13, the innovation fund will be used to encourage greater community activism, and to enable communities to develop innovative approaches to tackling the local crime issues that matter to them.

They are particularly keen for the fund to be made available to grass roots community activists who are not traditional recipients of government grants.

They also want the fund to encourage effective partnerships to get everybody working together to tackle crime. The fund will be used to encourage voluntary and community groups to work with their community safety partnership to tackle local crime problems, including through co-design and co-delivery of initiatives to cut crime.
