We're supporting Sceptre this week (Monday 17 November to Friday 21 November 2025), joining Bedfordshire Police in a national effort to raise awareness of the dangers of carrying a knife.
We've awarded 12 organisations grant funding totalling £150,000 from the government's UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and the Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF).
We're delighted to announce a third round of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF/REPF) community grants; continuing our work in supporting local economic and community development.
We joined forces with Bedfordshire Police and other partner agencies at the end of May to support Operation Sceptre, a national campaign aimed at tackling knife crime and keeping communities safe.
