The Youth Endowment Fund’s ‘Neighbourhood Fund’ is a partnership with select local communities where young people are more vulnerable to experiencing crime and violence across England and Wales. In each locality, the Neighbourhood Fund partners with community members and organisations to understand the problems that their communities are facing, and co-design solutions that are responsive to local needs. The aim of this work is to better understand how empowering people to design solutions for their local neighbourhood needs can build resilience amongst young people who are vulnerable to experiencing crime and violence.
