Helping the community tackle guns, gangs and knives
The Home Office £4.5m Community Fund
Youth violence is a major concern that continues to devastate families, communities and neighbourhoods.
The Home Office is working across government to provide help and support for young people, parents and victims. Voluntary and community organisations are key to this process and can make a real difference by transforming the lives of vulnerable young people who are either at risk or who have been involved in gangs or carried or used an offensive weapon.
In December 2008, the Home Secretary outlined a new £4.5m fund for local community groups to run activities for young people in 13 priority areas. This will fund intensive work with young people through mentoring and outreach work. Organisations can apply for grant funding of up to £10,000 per annum for three years.
This fund is being managed on behalf of the Home Office by Tribal's Community Development Team. For more information on the fund please visit Tribal's website at:
