<p>The Troubled Families Programme is a £920 million programme to help up to 400,000
families with multiple and complex needs, including those at risk of becoming involved
in crime and serious violence. The Supporting Families Against Youth Crime Fund has
provided a further £9.8 million to help 21 places further enhance how their local
Troubled Families Programme helps tackle youth violence and gangs. Each of the projects
are designed to respond directly to the needs of their community and so the support
provided to families varies in each local area. They include diversionary activities
such as boxing and residential courses, resilience building, out of hours mentors,
conflict resolution and whole family counselling. Local areas awarded funding will
provide monitoring data later this year.</p>
