Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) – tackling violence

3 mins read Families/Parenting Funding
Launched in October 2020, the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is an independent charitable trust that was founded with a £200m Home Office endowment by Impetus, a charity supporting disadvantaged young people. Its latest funding round is aiming to invest £10m in family support projects that prevent involvement in violence when children become older.

What projects will it fund?

Funding will focus on four areas:

Parenting programmes (including programmes for foster carers or people working with children in residential care), which help parents and their children to develop positive behaviours and relationships.

Family therapyinterventions (including for children in foster care), which offer whole families structured forms of therapy.

Programmes to reduce parental conflict, specifically designed to improve relationships between parents or carers.

Domestic abuse interventions, which are specifically designed to prevent and reduce harm to children and adults.

How much is available?

The YEF says that it is planning to spend “between £6m and £10m depending on how well applications meet our criteria”. Comic Relief is also investing £2m into the programme.
