£407,495 awarded to 44 West Yorkshire community safety projects
The tenth Mayor’s Safer Communities Fund round awarded £407,495 to 44 organisations across West Yorkshire.
FACT: West Yorkshire Combined Authority reports that 44 community organisations received £407,495 through round 10 of the Mayor’s Safer Communities Fund. The awards were presented on 8 October 2026 and cover projects intended to prevent crime, address anti-social behaviour, support victims and create positive opportunities for young people.
Examples named by the Combined Authority include £10,000 for Rainbow Baby Bank’s support for women and children affected by domestic abuse or human trafficking in Kirklees, and £9,900 for Bradford Bulls Foundation’s early-intervention work with children at risk of exclusion or anti-social behaviour.
ANALYSIS: This is evidence of completed grant decisions, not an open funding opportunity. It may help Leeds and West Yorkshire organisations understand the fund’s recent priorities before a future round.

What this could mean
Useful evidence about the types of community-safety work funded in the latest completed round; it is not an invitation to apply.
What remains uncertain
The announcement highlights selected recipients and funder claims. It does not provide outcome evidence for the funded projects, and round 10 is already awarded.
