**The deadline for applications has now passed.**
Background
The Lancashire Violence Reduction Network would like to invite bids from grassroots organisations across Lancashire with a proven track record of engaging with young people at risk of exploitation or of becoming victim/offenders of violent crime.
This fund will enable third sector agencies and community interest companies to target those most at need. Examples of what activities are being sought are assertive street outreach/activity related engagement. This could include half term activity sessions, and expansion of current programmes to enhance capacity is acceptable, particularly in communities where young people have little access to positive activities.
Those with successful applications will be asked to demonstrate how this grant will contribute to the county’s Trauma Informed Lancashire pledge and all activity must be able to be delivered by 31st March 2022.

Once completed, an application should be submitted by Monday 31st January 2022, via the LVRN email inbox: LancsVRN@lancashire.police.uk. Any application submitted after that date will not be eligible for financial support from this fund.

Assuming that all other criteria is met, grants will be assessed through criteria based on the level of each response using a 0-5 grading format. The LVRN reserves the right to limit the number of grant applications it will consider from a single organisation.
