How is the Violence Reduction Unit’s ‘Stronger Futures’ Programme impacting young people? / Mayor Of London

We’ve been working with London’s Violence Reduction Unit since 2022, in partnership with Renaisi, to help with the evaluation of the VRU’s Stronger Futures programme. The programme funds community organisations to provide safe, structured and positive opportunities for young people outside school hours. We visited 4 grantee organisations to understand the impacts for the young people and their communities.
