Last chance for small retailers to bid for grants to protect against crime
Time is running out for small retailers to bid for grants from a £5 million fund to buy security devices such as alarms, UV markers and radios, Home Office Minister Alan Campbell announced today.
The Small Retailers Grants Fund is offering grants of up to £3,000 to small retailers in 50 priority areas, to buy security devices including security grills or dye packs to mark goods.
Groups of small retailers working in partnership in an area can also team up to bid for grants of up to £50,000 to help improve a neighbourhood by cleaning it up or adding additional lighting to reduce the risk of crime.
The deadline for applications to the fund is September 30 and retailers in the 50 Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) and Community Safety Partnership (CSP) areas are being urged to get in touch before they miss out.
Home Office Minister Alan Campbell said:
“This £5 million fund can provide real help to small retailers to pay for better security in the places it is most needed and I would urge all eligible retailers to take advantage of this opportunity.
“Small businesses play a vital role in our communities and I am determined to ensure that they are not taken advantage of during these hard economic times, by providing real support where it is most needed.“
