The Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner has announced the latest round of funding opportunities via the Community Safety Fund and Speed Indicator Devices Grant Scheme.
Jonathan Evison said “I look forward to seeing a range of projects come forward through the CSF that will improve the safety and security of our local communities, community assets and public spaces, as well as the installation of further SIDs to continue to improve road safety across the Humber.”
Community Safety Fund
The CSF can provide funding of between £500 and £35,000 towards projects that meet the scheme criteria and are led by voluntary and community sector organisations, social enterprises or town and parish councils.
To date, £1.75m of funding has been committed to the Community Safety Fund to support projects that impact on crime and community safety at the local level.
A further £1.6m of funding is now being made available to support the delivery of the Police and Crime Plan (2024-29) between 2025/26 and 2028/29. This will see an overall investment of £3.35m being invested since its launch in May 2022.
The deadline for applications is 04 June 2025 at 23:59.
All potential applicants are encouraged to read the Application Guidance document before starting their application as some of the eligibility criteria has changed since previous rounds and some activities many no longer be eligible for funding support.

Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) Grant Scheme
Following a successful pilot in 2024/25, the SIDs Grant Scheme has been extended to enable projects to be delivered by the end of March 2026.
Grant funding is available to Town and Parish Councils, as well as other voluntary and community sector organisations, to enable the installation of additional Speed Indicator Devices to reduce instances of speeding and improve road safety across the Humber.
Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) offer traffic management solutions which reduce vehicle speeds and create safer and cleaner roads. These electric signs display a speed or message when triggered by vehicles travelling at excessive speeds.
The scheme can provide up to 50% funding towards the cost of the purchase and installation of a SID.
Applications are open on a rolling basis for projects that have secured approval from the relevant Local Authority.
