More than 4,000 people across Warwickshire have been helped in just six months by projects funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner.
Since April, it has been revealed that 27 initiatives have supported nearly 4,000 individuals and almost 400 businesses, tackling issues like youth crime, road safety, and reoffending.
The schemes have included theatre-based education, mentoring, counselling, and help for ex-offenders finding work and accommodation.
Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe says the impact goes beyond numbers, with staff and volunteers making a real difference to some of the county’s most vulnerable people.
For the 2025/26 scheme, funding was awarded across four themed categories of reducing reoffending, children and young people, crime prevention and road safety.
A broad outline of the achievements from April to September this year include:
- Loudmouth reaching over 2,700 young people through theatre-based education on crime prevention and healthy relationships
- Bradby Club supporting 284 young people in regular youth sessions and targeted issue-based work
- Reel Rod Squad, Empowr-U, Young People First, and Aspire in Arts collectively engaging well over 250 young people, including those at risk of exclusion or those involved in the youth justice system
- Specialist services such as You Can Flourish, RoSA, Sycamore Counselling Centre and Esther Project have been providing wellbeing programmes and trauma-informed counselling to vulnerable individuals of all ages
- Futures Unlocked received referrals to provide support to 51 ex-offenders, as they help people reintegrate into the community and help with gaining employment and accommodation
- Leamington Street Pastors have safeguarded people in town centres with first aid and reassurance for those on nights out. Rugby Street Pastors have extended their provisions to afternoon patrols to address local ASB concerns
- Helping Hands and Spring Housing have guided individuals to rebuild their lives and provide adults with purpose via sports, gardening and talking supported groups
- MACS have seen a 75% lasting positive impact of their conflict resolution work
- 599 volunteer hours have been given by RoSPA to deliver advanced rider training to make our roads safer for motorcyclists
- Warwickshire Retail Crime Initiative visited 375 businesses to improve reporting of, and ultimately reduce, retail crime
'Incredibly heart-warming'
PCC Philip Seccombe, said: “The success of the projects supported from my grants scheme in the first six months of this year is incredibly heart-warming to read. From visiting several of these providers I have seen first-hand the difference they are making to people’s lives across Warwickshire.
“Whilst the numbers outlined are impressive, in many cases the impact cannot be summarised in a simple bullet point or figure. It is in the daily efforts of staff and volunteers to be there and support some of the most vulnerable people.
“Through the provision of early interventions, mentoring, creative engagement and community safety initiatives these projects will continue to address a range of issues and support all partner agencies in building a safer Warwickshire for all.”
