The Home Office has announced a further funding of almost £100,000 to tackle the issues around gang violence.
The funding enables the expansion of local area reviews and targeted support offered as part of the government’s continuing commitment to Ending Gang Violence and Exploitation (EGVE).
The Minister for Crime, Safeguarding and Vulnerability announced the funding at a government forum held to bring partners together to tackle the issue of gangs.
It will enable 15 more local area reviews to be conducted in regions experiencing gang related issues to assess their resilience and help address the issues they face.
Sarah Newton, the minister, said: “Gang related violence devastates lives and I am pleased to announce further funding to tackle these appalling crimes. It’s often the young and most vulnerable in our society who become ensnared in gang activity having been preyed upon by gang members.
“This government is determined to do all we can to protect them by ending this cycle of exploitation and the crimes that inevitably go alongside it.”
Once the areas are selected for review, an expert team will help local authorities and their partners map gang problems in the area, review how effectively they deal with it, and make recommendations to help improve their response.
