- The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF): Open call funding round
-
The funding is available to organisations across England and Wales that are working to reduce children’s involvement in violence and have the potential for rigorous impact evaluation.
Project should fit within any of the seven key sectors: youth justice, children’s services, youth sector, policing, neighbourhoods, health, or education.
If your project supports young people aged 10-18 who are at risk of or affected by violence, and you’re ready to scale and evaluate your impact, this is your chance to secure funding.
Your involvement will help YEF build on evidence for what works in preventing children from becoming involved in violence!
More information can be found on the Youth Endowment Fund website.
