About LANPAC

LANPAC is a distinctive collaboration between Lancashire Constabulary, local businesses, and public services, all working together to reduce crime and disorder across the county. As a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee, the Partnership’s primary role is to support a variety of crime prevention and community safety initiatives proposed by Lancashire Constabulary employees on behalf of the community.

Our Board of Directors, comprised of representatives from the public, private, and voluntary sectors, allocates grants to allow Lancashire Constabulary employees to implement local crime reduction projects that would not otherwise have been affordable.

On average, we launch nearly one new crime reduction initiative each week, focusing on protecting the vulnerable elderly, tackling crime, drug abuse, street robbery, and burglary, enhancing public safety, and providing educational and recreational opportunities for youth. In urgent situations, we can swiftly assess applications and allocate funds, enabling an immediate and effective response to pressing issues.

Our Funding

LANPAC has gone from strength to strength with over a £4 million being allocated towards projects county-wide, providing a significant addition to community safety and prosperity and making a real difference to the community of Lancashire.

Funds are raised through various activities and our membership fees from our members. LANPAC members represent the complete spectrum of Lancashire’s businesses and public services, including the police, local authorities, national companies with branches in the county, small local firms, places of worship and even sole traders. No organisation is too large or small and our graduated system of membership fees is designed to ensure that no one is excluded.

We believe that our members exemplify the best of Lancashire, people who understand the importance of corporate social responsibility and its growing impact, both on their working environment and the way they themselves are perceived by their customers.

Our Members

The support of our members is vital to our success. We encourage partnership working and match funding. As a result, this has multiplied our initial outlay fourfold, so that, in real terms, for every £400 donated to LANPAC in the form of a membership fee, it is in reality worth £1,600 to our charity.
