Research reports

This is the the third Insights Brief from our COVID-19 Learning Project.

This report seeks to understand what key ingredients enable movements to realise significant change – as well as what we can learn from movements associated with partial or little change.

We commissioned our partners at the Early Intervention Foundation to conduct a review of what the evidence already tells us about different types of family support programmes. This briefing is a summary of their findings.

This report sets out how we’ve identified the areas we’ll invest in through the first round of the Neighbourhood Fund.

This is the second Insights Brief from our COVID-19 Learning Project.

The Youth Endowment Fund's Programmes Evidence and Gap Map is the largest map of studies on this topic in the world.

This is the first in a series of Insights Brief from our COVID-19 Learning Project.

This briefing was an interim resource, which has now been replaced by the YEF Toolkit. While we were working on detailed evidence resources, we created the briefing to provide an interim summary of what the evidence says about how effective different approaches are at preventing children from becoming involved in violence. Since it was published, we’ve produced the YEF Toolkit, which provides fully accessible summaries of the best available research based on a comprehensive and systematic approach to the evidence.
