We want to help YOU to improve your community. If you have any project large or small which you believe will make a difference preventing crime or reducing anti-social behaviour, get in touch.
The Trust can help you with grants and loans, as well as expert advice.
Typically grants range from £500 - £2,500. Please complete an application form and submit before the application deadline. The Trustees encourage partnership working – so where applicable, please do include other groups who are helping you with your work e.g. Kent Police or the Town Centre Warden.

We also run a small grants programme with grants from £50 to £500. These grants are available to community groups who might require small amounts of money for things like locks for the youth club’s shed, or printing costs for a crime prevention leaflet. The application process is as simple as possible, and we encourage you to apply.

Self-financing projects guarantee long-term success. However, sometimes initial funding is required. The Kent People’s Trust can help kick-start your crime prevention project with an interest free loan. Our most successful collaboration has been the Safer Shopping Partnerships which the Kent People’s Trust helped to establish, and which are now a best practice model for town centre management.
