Grant £10K per year to small retailers facing losses from shoplifting

We think retail crime, including shoplifting and break-ins, is devastating small businesses. Unlike large chains, small retailers may lack security budgets and face rising insurance costs. We believe the Police response is limited, and that organized crime is exploiting this crisis. We think these businesses are vital to the economy and communities, and that £10,000 grants could help them recover losses, improve security, and prevent further closures, protecting local jobs and high streets.
