Preventing Violent Extremism Pathfinder Fund
The Preventing Violent Extremism Pathfinder Fund was established by the British government as as "a key element of the PREVENT element of the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy."[1] It distributes funds via local government to organisation it sees as fight extremism. By October 2007 200 projects had been agreed, nearly 80 of them in London. Under Hazel Blears the government is increasing funding, and is to provide £45 million over the next three years to local partnerships. By 2010-11, funding will rise to £18 million a year.[2]
