In the last 12 months in Greater Manchester, there were fewer than 90 hospital admissions due to assault by sharp objects among victims aged under25 (down by 17% compared to 2021, and down 
by 26% compared to the year pre-covid), and a significant decrease in homicides (down by 27% compared to 2021), and knife enabled homicides (down by 19% compared to 2021).
The VRU is particularly proud of its lose work with 10GM and the wider Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector to make this happen. Through the programme, we have now awarded over £1.6 million to VCSE organisations across Greater Manchester.
