Haringey has secured £2.9 million in funding to combat violence and enhance community safety over the next four years. The funding, announced at a Community Safety Partnership meeting on Wednesday 25 June 2025, will support key initiatives aligned with local priorities and the London Police and Crime Plan (PCP).
The Haringey Community Safety Partnership will focus on reducing violence, increasing public trust and confidence, creating safer communities, better supporting victims, and protecting people from exploitation and harm. Specific areas of focus include Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), serious youth violence, criminal exploitation, and hate crime.
The funding breakdown includes £553,000 per year from the MOPAC London Crime Prevention Fund (LCPF) for early intervention, tackling drug-related antisocial behaviour, the Integrated Group Offending Team (IGOT), a VAWG project, and a Hate Crime Co-ordinator. An additional £200,000 per year from the VRU London Crime Prevention Fund (LCPF) will support the Haringey Youth Service – Thrive 360, Youth IOM, a VAWG Young Person IDVA, and an IOM / Prison Link Worker.
Furthermore, £100,000 per year from the VRU Robbery Prevention Fund will be allocated to Active Role Models, Mobile Youth Hubs, Rising Green Boxing, and Robbery Prevention Co-Ordination and Analytics. A final £29,000 from the Serious Violence Duty Fund will support Bruce Grove Boxing, and SVD Statutory Delivery, Strategic Development and Assessment.
The report pack also highlighted that Haringey's crime rate is 97 per 1,000 population, the 11th highest in London. The most commonly reported crimes are theft, violence, and vehicle offences, with Noel Park, Northumberland Park, and South Tottenham experiencing the highest volumes. However, reductions have been noted in key crime types such as youth violence, robbery, and violence with injury.
The Community Safety Partnership meeting also included a stocktake to reaffirm priorities and test the partnership's aims and progress tracking methods.
