Expressions of interest for community codesign work on behalf of Greater Manchester's Violence Reduction Unit

Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit are seeking to award a contract for the codesign element of their Youth Endowment Fund programme – Another chance. This will involve working with the communities who are impacted by the programme to develop the messages which will be used in resources and communications.

The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) and the home office have jointly funded a project in Manchester and North Trafford which works with young people aged fourteen to twenty-five who are involved in violence. The ‘Another Chance’ project will work with young people by looking at the underlying causes of violence and using a holistic individualised method to help to address the causes and prevent re-offending. As a part of this project, there is a commitment to community consultation. The Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is seeking to partner with an organisation with expertise in co-production and community led research in the city region, with work to commence immediately.
