Introduction

The Youth Endowment Fund has partnered with The Phoenix Way to distribute £10 million in funding to Black, Asian and other minority-led charities and community groups in England and Wales.

The YEF’s mission is to find what works to prevent children becoming involved in violence and build a movement to put this knowledge into practice. The £10 million investment is part of our commitment to make sure our funding reaches and benefits children and young people from Black, Asian and other minority backgrounds.
