Prevent Funding issued by Government Departments
Department for Communities and Local Government
The DCLG has been responsible for the main strand of funding that has been provided to the task of Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE), or Prevent, as it is commonly referred to.
- In 2007, the Preventing Violent Extremism Pathfinder Fund (PVEPF) was established by the DCLG and received funding for £6 million for 2007-08 to support seventy priority local authorities in England to advance a programme that would “tackle violent extremism at a local level.”[3]
- In June 2007, the DCLG also distributed £650,000 through the Community Leadership Fund (CLF) that would build the capacity of Muslims to fight extremism and complement the work being undertaken by local authorities under the PVEPF.[4]
- On 31 October 2007, Hazel Blears (Secretary of State for the DCLG) announced that the DCLG would provide a total of £45 million worth of PVE funding for local partnerships from a period of April 2008 to March 2011.[5] The £45 million announced by Hazel Blears went to 76 local authorities in 2008-09; 82 local authorities in 2009-10; 94 local authorities in 2010-11.[6]
- In August 2009, a £7.5 million cash injection was authorised by the DCLG to local authorities in order to enhance the struggle against “al-Qaeda influenced extremism” and to “improve effectiveness of the Prevent programme”.[7] A further £5.1 million is being distributed over the period of 2009-2011 through the CLF programme.[8]
- The Challenge and Innovation Fund totalled to £3.2 million and was allocated in May 2009 (for delivery of projects during 2009-10) by the DCLG to local authorities in England to assist them with Preventing Violent Extremism.[9]
- Including smaller avenues of funding, the total money that the DCLG will have allocated to Preventing Violent Extremism from April 2007-11 is estimated to be £80 million, of which £61.7 million will have been through local authorities.[10]
