The money had been raised made up of funds from the Police Property Act Fund (PPAF).

The PPAF is made up of monies received by the police from the sale of found property and from property confiscated by order of court and then sold.

The main aim of the fund is to support local projects undertaken by voluntary/charitable organisations that solely benefit the communities of Sussex.
