Legacy Projects

Over the past six years, we have worked closely with local Met Police officers, communities and organisations to support community-based crime prevention and victim support projects. We have also provided mentoring for ex-offenders to enable them to transition into education, training and jobs.



We sought to tackle the challenges of crime and public safety through themed grant rounds and prioritised particular crime issues such as domestic violence and gun, gang and knife crime. From victim support to mediation, from diversionary to rehabilitation, from arts projects to promoting participation in sports, a wide range of strategies and approaches have been deployed by grantees.

Since 2005, we have funded 125 projects, awarded grants totalling £2,233,750.93 and supported over 16,000 beneficiaries, the vast majority of whom were young people.

Partnerships have always been at the forefront of our approach and that of our grantees. We worked closely with our funded organisations to provide a range of support and advice, including volunteers from the business sector and information about funding opportunities. The majority of funded projects worked closely with Safer Neighbourhood Teams, local authorities, Youth Offending Teams and engaged with a range of other statutory bodies, voluntary sector groups and organisations, as well as private sector partners.
