DeterTech has revealed that Shropshire organisations have received a £12,000 boost for their work with young people across the county.
According to the organisations, the funds were awarded by the county’s High Sheriff Fund and managed by the Shropshire Community Foundation.
Former High Sheriff, Brian Welti and Shropshire Community Foundation have confirmed that 12 groups have been awarded grants with Telford-based international security company DeterTech being one of the main contributors to the fund.
DeterTech’s support
DeterTech explains that its support for the High Sheriff Fund reflects its deep commitment to prevention, education and community-led action.
The initiative empowers young people to take the lead in supporting charities that uplift their peers, particularly the most vulnerable, while nurturing a culture of compassion and responsibility across schools and communities.
Beyond financial support, DeterTech says that it is actively involved in community education around safety and crime prevention.
Furthermore, the company highlights that it sees this partnership as a shared mission, helping people to not only feel safer but also be safer.
“Truly resonates with our values”
Martin Rose, UK Sales Director, DeterTech commented: “I was fortunate to attend the Crime Beat Awards and to see the inspiring work of young people from across the UK.
“This truly resonates with our values as a business – providing greater peace of mind to people and communities every day.
“Supporting this local initiative, was a natural step and we’re excited to see what the young people of Shropshire can achieve,” Rose concluded.
Impacting growth
The organisations highlight that this initiative has real potential to grow beyond Shropshire, with aspirations to become a national movement.

Brian Welti, Former High Sherriff said he was delighted that the fund had been used to support such a wide range of organisations all supporting positive opportunities and activities for young people.
