About the project
We know that a lot of violent crime happens in very specific local areas. To make a difference, many believe that it’s essential to work with the people and organisations who live and work there – they know their communities best.
Through our Neighbourhood Fund, we are investing and building long-term partnerships in 5 hyper-local areas in England and Wales, where there are higher numbers of children and young people involved in crime and violence.
In each of these areas we are aiming to understand the problems the community faces, and deliver and evaluate solutions that are both evidence-informed and responsive to their local needs.
