They fund delivery of services only in order to evaluate them and identify what works to reduce young people’s involvement in violence.
Applications are open to projects working in one of the following sectors:
- Youth sector
- Children’s services
- Youth Justice
- Policing
- Neighbourhoods
- Health
- Education
Projects must support children at risk of violence
Projects must primarily support children and young people aged 10 – 18 who are either:
- At risk of crime or violence (‘secondary prevention’), or
- Already affected by violence, offending or exploitation (‘tertiary prevention’).
Projects must be ready for an impact evaluation – they are looking for well-established projects that are operating at a reasonable scale or have clear plans to scale up. These projects should be suitable for a full impacts evaluation.
The application form is split into two parts:
- Part One – A high-level summary of the proposed intervention and target cohort.
- Part Two – Further detail on the intervention and the delivery organisation.
They aim to assess all part one applications within ten working days.
