The fund has today announced the names of 130 charities, social enterprises, local authorities and youth organisations who will receive a share of the money. 

Each one is working to reconnect with young people at-risk of being drawn into violent crime and tackle any problems caused by Covid-19, the fund said.

The work carried out by the organisations will focus on early intervention and support for vulnerable young people aged between 10- and 14-years old.

The newly funded activities include the delivery of online and virtual programmes, targeted work in schools and detached youth work, the fund added.
