The funders aim is to fund and evaluate projects that will help to build strong evidence for practices and approaches in areas where clear gaps exist.

To apply your projects will need to be working in one of the following sectors:

• Youth sector
• Children’s services
• Youth Justice
• Policing
• Neighbourhoods
• Health
• Education

Projects must primarily support children and young people aged 10–18 who are either:

• At risk of crime or violence (‘secondary prevention’), or
• Already affected by violence, offending or exploitation (‘tertiary prevention’).
