The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) has launched an open call for organisations across England and Wales that are working to reduce children’s involvement in crime and violence.
The aim is to fund and evaluate projects that support 10 to 18-year-olds at risk of or affected by violence, offending or exploitation.
Projects must align with one of the following sectors: youth services, children’s services, youth justice, policing, neighbourhoods, health, or education.
The fund will support well-established projects that can scale and generate new insights in areas with existing evidence gaps.
Proposals are invited from registered charities, companies, statutory bodies, and CICs. Partnerships between organisations and YEF evaluators are also encouraged.
Applications can be made at any time.
