Current Priorities
Our PDGs are our operational core strategies for 2025–2028, ensuring that our work is
focused, collaborative, and aligned with our strategic goals.
Rural Volunteer Network
A national hub linking local volunteer groups, Parish Watches, and rural champions. The Network shares training, resources, and real-time community insights so volunteers can act confidently and stay connected.
Business Watch Programme
A partnership initiative that brings rural businesses, insurers, and retailers together to strengthen prevention. Provides seasonal alerts, shared toolkits, and practical guidance tailored to high-risk rural industries.
Local Resilience Grants
A micro-funding pilot that backs small but high-impact community safety projects. Simple, fast support for local ideas that improve security, awareness, and long-term rural resilience.
