Since the Safer Streets Fund launched in 2020, the government has invested 125 million through 4 rounds of the Safer Streets Fund, and the Safety of Women at Night Fund across England and Wales. Round Five was launched on 6 July 2023. For the first time, a direct funding approach was adopted. As a result, every police force area across England and Wales was offered up to 820,000 to bid for delivering a range of interventions over the period from 1 October 2023 to 31 March 2025. The additional investment through Round Five brings the total to 159 million to date, funding 413 projects across England and Wales.
