Issued by Humberside Police As the festive season approaches, we remain committed to preventing retail crime and keeping shopping areas safe by working closely with local retailers and partners during one of the busiest times of the year. This work also supports the Home Office’s Winter of Action, a continuation of the Safer Streets Summer initiative. Retail crime includes offences such as shoplifting, and abuse or intimidation of shop workers.

The latest organisations and communities across Hull that have successfully applied for grants from the Crime Prevention Fund have been announced. Set up by Hull City Council in 2022, the Crime Prevention Fund makes money available to support community organisations with their projects to prevent crime and antisocial behaviour (ASB), helping to ensure feelings of safety.

The annual Christmas remembrance service will be held at Chanterlands Crematorium later this month. The traditional event, which is open to all, will take place on Sunday 14 December, starting at 2pm, where those attending are asked to arrive around 1:45pm. It will be held in the large chapel, and will provide a chance for people to remember loved ones at a poignant time of the year.
