n July, the first tranche of organisations to receive grants through the fund were announced, with 130 charities, social enterprises, youth groups and local authorities sharing £6.5m to tackle problems linked to violence during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Earlier this month, the YEF launched a call for people and organisations to contribute views on what the fund’s priorities should be for the three-year period 2021-23.

The charity says it wants to hear from anyone involved in keeping children and young people safe from involvement in violence, including individuals working in the community and youth charities, councils, school leaders, community police teams and health professionals.
