The trustees are pleased to present their annual report on the work of The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) in 2021 and its plans for 2022, together with the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The Youth Endowment Fund exists to prevent children from becoming involved in violence. Our vision is ‘A world where no child or young person becomes involved in violence’. Our  mission is ‘To find what works and build a movement to put this knowledge into practice.’ Our strategy commits us to doing this by delivering on three highly interlinked tasks as detailed in our strategy. 


Our primary objective in 2021 was to lay the foundations for change by launching new funding rounds to find and evaluate great initiatives, building trust among key sectors and stakeholders we work with and ensuring the best available evidence is easily accessible. 

In total we set ourselves three core objectives: 

- Build and connect people with evidence 

- Launch and deliver focused funding rounds 

- Strengthen our Foundations. 

> To achieve these objectives, we pursued a number of activities that were designed to deliver on the overall objectives. Our performance has been strong overall across these activities:

## **Our approach to generating evidence** 

Our overall objective is to prevent children and young people from becoming involved in violence by finding what works and building a movement to put this into practice. One of the primary ways we do this is providing grants to organisations to deliver promising interventions and then selecting and funding an independent evaluator to conduct a rigorous evaluation of their work. Our grant-making is therefore set up to be able to generate new knowledge and evidence about what works and that is core to all our decision-making on what we fund. 

Therefore, in deciding where we focus our funding, we make sure our decisions meet these requirements: 

**Impact:** Is there good reason to suggest that making changes in this area 

8 



will reduce  youth violence? 

**Learning:** Are evaluations likely to yield learning that we can turn into advice for practice or commissioners? 

**Potential:** Can we identify promising work to fund and evaluate? 

**Fundraising:** Will we be able to raise sufficient supplementary funding for this area of focus? 

**Scope to change practice:** Is it credible that we could deliver change in this  area? 

## **Plans for Future Periods** 

We will build on the significant delivery achieved in 2021 in the year ahead by making sure that all our work is hyper focused in the areas where we believe we have the greatest opportunity for impact, learning, potential, change and supplementary funding. In ensuring this level of focus, we believe we’ll have the best shot at building new evidence and working for change to reduce youth violence. 

We have identified the following core objectives for the year ahead: 

|**Core objectives**|**Core activities for 2022/23**|
|---|---|
|Deliver across our focus<br>areas|We will aim to have launched a total of nine<br>rounds of funding, which include 30 impact<br>evaluations and reaching 100k children. In our<br>first focus area, Diversion from the criminal<br>justice system, we will have produced our first<br>Guidance Report providing advice and guidance<br>on what needs to change and built our first<br>coalition of stakeholders focused on driving that<br>change.|
|Be the lead expert on<br>violence reduction|We will produce and maintain two best-in-<br>class products by expanding the YEF Toolkit<br>to 30 topics and publishing an annual<br>authoritative report on violence reduction<br>that gains significant and impactful media<br>coverage.|

|Continue to strengthen<br>our foundations|We will maintain strong business foundations<br>with excellent financial management and<br>performance, high standards of risk<br>management, high staff morale and a<br>rigorous approach to race equity and long-<br>termplanning.|



## **Financial Review** 

## _Financial results_ 

YEF was established in April 2019 through a £200m grant from the Home Office, to be spent over a ten-year period of time. The grant is included in full in the income for 2019 and £14.1m of net investment returns was derived from it in the calendar year 2021, in addition to a further £5.9m of additional income received during the year. 

Expenditure in 2021 totalled £20.2m, of which £14.0m was on grants to interventions with a further £3.4m spend on activities we undertook directly. 

Of the grant, £192m remained invested with Goldman Sachs and remained the largest  component of the balance sheet at the year end. The restricted fund at the year-end amounted to £195.6m (£191.1m for the Home Office grant and £4m for the Centre of Excellence grant and £0.4M from other grants received) with a small deficit of £12,475 on the unrestricted fund. The deficit in unrestricted fund will be met by supplementary income targets set in the next year. 

## **Reserves** 

The Impetus board, as sole trustee, agreed a policy of holding minimum restricted funds in  respect of the Home Office funded work equal to six months operating expenditure. The receipt of the Home Office at the outset of our work means that this policy is comfortably met. 

## **Going concern** 

We consider that we have adequate financial reserves to continue to deliver our plans and  that we have a reasonable expectation that we will have adequate 

10 



resources to continue in  operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the charity’s ability to continue. 

## **Investment policy, objectives and performance** 

The grant from the Home Office has been invested and is managed by Goldman Sachs, with  oversight from the Endowment Investment Committee, a subcommittee of the Impetus Board. The investment objective is to achieve an average nominal return of 2%, net of management fees, over the life of the fund. To ensure that there are sufficient funds to cover planned spend to projects and the costs of managing the YEF, the equivalent of three to six months forecast spending is held in cash and cash equivalents. 

The investment portfolio has been divided into three sub-portfolios, each invested in different types of asset: 

- Liquidity sub-portfolio: cash and cash equivalent investments 

- Mid-term sub-portfolio:  investment grade government and corporate bonds  Growth sub-portfolio: global equities. 

The balance between the three portfolios will vary over time in line with the fund’s planned cash flows and the need to limit the level of capital risk within the portfolio. 

To limit currency risk in the portfolio, cash and cash equivalent investments are only invested in sterling instruments. Bond investments are in sterling or hedged back into sterling. Hedging of non-sterling currency exposure arising from overseas equity investments is permitted but not required. 

The fund managers are required to integrate consideration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into their investment process in a thoughtful manner and actively engage with companies to improve their ESG practices and policies. 

As at 31 December 2021, of the total portfolio of £192.2m, £118.7m was invested in fixed income bonds and £67.1m in equities. The value of the portfolio stood at £192.2m (2020: £194.2m) after withdrawing £30.5m from the portfolio to meet our working capital requirements since the inception of the fund. The Trustee considers that the portfolio performed well, taking advantage of the equities markets during the pandemic with a well-defined glide path to reduce equity risk post year-end, whilst beating the funds benchmarks. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## _Structure and public benefit_ 

YEF is a charitable trust and registered charity with Impetus as its sole corporate trustee.  Impetus is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. 

11 



Impetus received a £200m grant from the Home Office under a grant agreement dated 21 March 2019. The Youth Endowment Fund Charitable Trust was established on 10 April 2019  and was registered by the Charity Commission on 20 September 2019 (with charity number 1185413). The grant transferred to the Trust on that date. The grant is to be spent over the ten years to March 2029. 

On 1 April 2021, YEF transitioned from a partnership between Impetus and two Delivery Partners, the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business Foundation, to a subsidiary of Impetus with all staff working within a single organisation. Social Investment Business remained a Delivery Partner with representation on the YEF Committee, a subcommittee of the Impetus Board with oversight responsibility of YEF activity, but no longer employed staff to work full time on the fund. 

Its governing document is a Trust Deed made on 10 April 2019 which was amended and  restated on 19 September 2019. The objects of the charity are to: 

- promote safe and crime free communities; 

- preserve and protect health and save lives including, without limitation by providing  facilities, counselling, support and advice; 

- prevent or relieve poverty and hardship; and 

- advance any other complementary charitable purpose the trustees think fit, 

in each case with a focus on children and young people who are at risk of offending  or who are offenders or ex-offenders, and those who are (or are at risk of) being adversely affected by violence or other harm as a result of crime in England and Wales, including by working together with their respective families, carers and communities; and 

- advance in life and relieve the needs of children and young people including but not limited to those: 

   - who are or are at risk of offending or who are offenders or exoffenders; or 

   - who are or are at risk of being adversely affected by violence or otherharm as a result of crime in England and Wales 

through the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interests of social welfare, which are designed to improve their conditions of life and which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals; 

12 



- to promote social inclusion amongst children and young people who are or who are  at risk of being socially excluded as a result of their social and economic circumstances; and 

- who are at risk of offending or who are offenders or ex-offenders, or 

- who are or who are at risk of being adversely affected by violence or other harm as a result of crime in England and Wales; 

by providing facilities and services that relieve the needs of such children and young people and assist them to integrate into society. 

- to advance education and promote research including without limitation into the nature and causes of crime amongst young people and the effectiveness of different forms of intervention which seek to reduce crime and its impact and to disseminate the useful results of such research. 

The trustee has had regard to its duties under section 17 of the Charities Act 2011. Charity trustees have a duty to report in the trustees’ annual report on their charity’s public benefit. They should demonstrate that: 

- **The benefits generated by the activities of the charity are clear.** This report sets out in the activities which the YEF has carried out in the period supporting and evaluating interventions and striving to achieve our objects. 

- **The benefits generated relate to the objects of the charity.** All activities undertaken are intended to further YEF’s charitable objects, noted above. 

- **The people who receive support are entitled to do so according to criteria set out in the charity’s objects.** The YEF exists to prevent children and young people from becoming involved in violence by finding what works and building a movement to put that into practice. This report sets out ways in which it is working to ensure that the beneficiaries are supported. 

## **Governance and management** 

Impetus acts as the sole corporate trustee through its board of trustees. Impetus established The Youth Endowment Fund Charitable Trust Committee (YEF Committee) as a committee of its  board. The YEF Committee has delegated responsibility for the management of the Youth Endowment Fund in compliance with, and in implementation of, the Home Office Grant Agreement. 

Impetus has the following matters reserved to it, receiving recommendations from the YEF  Committee on each matter: 

- the overall strategy for the charity and the grants strategy or any material changes thereto; 

13 



- a budget and business plan for the charity within the framework set by the Home Office Grant Agreement and Partnership Agreement; 

- the appointment or termination of appointment of Committee members and the YEF Executive Director; 

- individual grants or material changes to existing grants with a value in excess of £10 million, including those made from Supplementary Funding; 

- the terms of any partnerships with other funders, where their funding is in excess of £10 million; 

- the Investment Policy and the appointment of investment managers. 

The Committee has two sub-committees. The Grants and Evaluation Committee provides oversight and scrutiny of grants to Project Implementation Partners and agreements with independent evaluators. It makes recommendations in respect of individual grants, monitors grants awarded and produces reports for Impetus and the YEF Committee. The Endowment Investment Committee has delegated responsibility for the investment management of the Youth Endowment Fund. 

The trustees consider the YEF Committee and the senior management team to be the key management personnel for reporting purposes. Pay is set by reference to an upper quartile salary benchmark which is established using a salary survey for the sector. 

## **Risks** 

The trustees are responsible for ensuring that the charity has an appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities. 

The YEF Committee regularly reviews and assesses the major risks to which the YEF is exposed. Movements against risks are reviewed at Committee meetings with mitigating actions and controls discussed. The risk register is also reported to Impetus’ Resource and Audit Committee. 

Significant risks identified and steps taken to mitigate them are set out in the table below.

## **Statement of Trustee’s  Responsibilities** 

The trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (‘UK GAAP’). 

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the  charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustee is required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any  material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The Trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any one time the financial position of the charity and enable them to  ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustee confirms that to the best of its knowledge there is no information relevant to the audit of which the auditors are unaware. The Trustee also confirms that it has taken all necessary steps to ensure that they are themselves aware of all relevant audit information and that this information has been communicated to the auditors. The Trustee’s Report was approved by the Trustee on 21 June 2022 and signed on their behalf by the Chair of the Impetus Board as  representative of the Trustee.

## **Independent auditor’s report to the trustee of The Youth Endowment Fund Charitable Trust** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Youth Endowment Fund Charitable Trust for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion, the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of the charity’s net movement in funds for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

17 



## **Other information** 

The trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustee’s Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charity; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of the trustee for the financial statements** 

As explained more fully in the trustee’s responsibilities statement set out on page 15, the trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustee is responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustee either intends to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are 

18 



considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Based on our understanding of the charity and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to trust law requirements over the use of restricted funds, and we considered the extent to which noncompliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011 and payroll tax. 

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to recognition of voluntary income. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities; 

- Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud; 

- Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; 

- Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted with unusual descriptions and entries posted at unusual times; and 

- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

## **The Youth Endowment Fund Charitable Trust** 

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **For the year ended 31 December 2021** 

**1. Accounting policies** 

- a) The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019), and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## Going concern 

The accounts are prepared on the going concern basis as the Trustee expects that the activities will continue for the forseeable future and the Charity has healthy reserves and a strong cash position at the balance sheet date. There are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the Charity’s ability to continue in operational existence. 

- b) Income is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Grants to the Charity are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable, or in the case of grants with associated eligibility criteria, in the year in which those criteria are satisfied. 

Where entitlement to grants receivable is dependent upon fulfilment of conditions within the Charity's control, the income is recognised when there is sufficient evidence that conditions will be met. Where there is uncertainty as to whether the charity can meet such conditions, recognition of income is deferred. 

- c) Donated services and facilities are recognised as income and expenditure in the financial statements when companies or individuals offer their professional expertise on a pro bono basis. The value of these donated services and facilities is an estimated figure based upon the valuation the professional individual or organisation places upon the time, services and facilities they have provided to the charity. Individuals offering their time to work in areas where they are not undertaking their profession are classified as volunteers and their time is not quantified in the accounts, but is disclosed in the Trustee's Report. All of these amounts are treated as unrestricted donations. 

24 



## ~~**1**~~ **. Accounting policies (continued)** 

- d) Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered. Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates exclusively and directly to that activity. In addition, an allocation of salary and overhead costs of the central function is made and is apportioned based upon staff estimates of time spent on each activity (including the time of the executives who offer their services on a pro bono basis). 

- e) Grants payable to interventions by the YEF are charged in the year in which they are disbursed to the intervention. Continued funding is conditional on the interventions meeting specified milestones. Conditional grants are recognised as expenditure when the conditions are fulfilled. If the conditions have not been met at the year end, the grants are disclosed as a future commitment but are not shown as expenditure. 

- f) The charity's financial instruments all qualify as basic financial instruments in accordance with section 11 of FRS102 and are recognised on the following bases: 

- i. Investments are measured at market value at the balance sheet date. 

- ii. Cash and cash equivalents represent bank balances and deposits held in sterling. 

iii. Debtors are measured at the transaction price less any provision for doubtful debts. 

iv. Trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. 

   - v. Intangible assets are capitalised at costs and amortised accordingly 

- g) Amortisation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The amortisation rates in use are as follows: 

Computer software Ten years 

- h) Short term deposits represent cash on deposit. 

- i) Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the charity. 

25 



## ~~**1**~~ **. Accounting policies (continued)** 

- j) Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is matched to the restricted funds, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs, if appropriate. 

- k) Impetus, the sole corporate trustee of the charity, operates a defined contribution pension scheme which staff employed by Impetus (as sole trustee) to work on the charity's activities are auto-enrolled in. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of Impetus and the charity in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable under the scheme. Impetus (as sole trustee) has no liability under the scheme other than for the payment of those contributions. 

- l) The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues, grants payable and expenses during the period. The Trustees consider that there are no key judgements or estimates of estimation uncertainty.

## **4. Grants payable (continued)** 

The Youth Endowment Fund aims to prevent children and young people from getting caught up in crime and violence by making sure that those at most risk get the best possible support, as early as possible, to get on a positive path and succeed. Its grant making exists to support this objective and it seeks to fund activities that YEF can evaluate and grow. 

Continued funding of interventions is conditional upon the organisations meeting specified milestones. Conditional grants are recognised as expenditure when the conditions are fulfilled. If the conditions have not been met at the year end, the grants are noted as a future commitment but not shown as expenditure. 

The total amount of grants authorised but not accrued as expenditure at 31 December 2021 was £27,917,000 (2020: £18,834,519). This amount relates to the organisations listed above. If all current interventions progress as envisaged, the phasing of future commitments is estimated as follows: 

|2021<br>2022<br>2023<br>2024|**2021**<br>2020<br>**£**<br>**£**<br>**-**<br>**16,118,140**<br>**12,376,000**<br>**2,256,379**<br>**10,188,000**<br>**460,000**<br>**5,353,000**<br>**-**<br>**27,917,000**<br>**18,834,519**|

Funds from the Home Office grant and investment income earned from it will be used to fund interventions to prevent children and young people from getting caught up in crime and violence by making sure that those at most risk get the best possible support, as early as possible, to get on a positive path and succeed. Independent evaluations of the interventions, research and the costs of the three partners delivering the Fund's work will also be met from the grant and from supplementary funding which is secured in addition to the grant and investment income. 

The Centre of Excellence grant was additional funding recieved to enable YEF to act as a centre of expertise, generating, disseminating and promoting new knowledge, practice and academic research that will transform local and national responses to tackling serious violence affecting children and young people. 

Supplementary income includes the #iwill and Co-op funds, formed in a joint partnership with YEF to create The Peer Action Collective (PAC). Together, the partners are investing £5.2 million to build a network of peer researchers to study the experience of youth violence and turn the learning into opportunities for young people to make their community a safer, fairer place.
