The purpose of the Youth Endowment Fund is to prevent children and young people from getting involved in violence. Our approach involves researching effective strategies and fostering a collective effort to implement these insights.

Through rigorous research and evaluation, we form ‘What Works’ in our Toolkit, as well as providing useful insights from leading practitioners.
