Prevent funding is prioritised based on threat and risk. We have identified 48 priority areas across England and Wales where we assess the risk of radicalisation to be highest. Each priority area receives funding for a dedicated Prevent coordinator and for civil society organisations to deliver campaigns and projects that counter terrorist narratives and build resilience in communities against radicalisation. We do not provide detailed information about the funding allocation of local Prevent projects by area.
