The Eastbourne & Lewes Community Safety Partnership (E&LCSP) is a group of local organisations who work together to tackle crime and dis-order issues. As part of their work the E&LCSP offer grants to local and community organisations to support projects that can help address local safety priorities. These priorities are updated each year, and the E&LCSP is currently accepting applications addressing the following issues:

• Promoting safe and welcoming spaces to help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.
• Tackling the incidence of hate crime, domestic and sexual abuse.
• Reducing the incidence of serious violence and knife crime.
• Addressing the impact of organised crime on local communities.
• Lowering levels of anti-social driving on the Borough’s roads.
• Supporting the street community and addressing any related anti-social behaviour.

A wide range of projects and programmes have been supported by grants over the years including sporting activities for young people, projects providing therapy for survivors of domestic abuse, and small improvements to lighting and landscaping to help create spaces in which local people feel safer.
