Summary
The Police & Crime Commissioner for Surrey is responsible for commissioning services that support victims of crime, improve community safety, tackle child exploitation and prevent reoffending. We operate a number of different funding streams. We regularly invite organisations to apply for grant funding to support the above aims.
For the financial year 2022/23 the Office has used a proportion of locally derived funding to support the delivery of local services. In total, additional funding of £650,000 was made available for this purpose. This paper sets out allocations from this budget.
Standard Funding Agreements
Service: Engage
Provider: Surrey County Council
Grant: £30,000
The funding is intended to be used to offset costs for the 2 x P6 Engage Worker posts which are currently on hold due to a Surrey County Council recruitment freeze. Engage youth workers seek to make a timely offer of youth work activity and support to young people and families soon after the point of detention within Surrey Police custody suites. An Engage representative will attend the Daily Risk Briefing (DRB) which discusses all young people detained in Police custody over the previous 24hrs. They will aim to make contact within 24hrs of release. Engage resources will prioritise young people and their families where there is an identified risk of Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE), Missing Episodes, Serious Youth Violence (SYV), County Lines / Drug Dealing and Gangs.
Budget: Precept Uplift 2022/23
Service: PL Kicks
Provider: Chelsea FC Foundation
Grant: £20,000
The PL Kicks programme supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to access diversionary activities away from anti-social behaviour and criminal activity. The programme will engage young people aged 8-18 of all abilities, demographics and backgrounds through an evening delivery model at estate and community venues that are accessible for young people. The programme will be promoted by local community partners. Sessions include a mixture of open access, disability inclusive and female only football/physical activity. They also include multi-sport provisions, tournaments, social action and workshop activities.
