<p>In December 2016 we provided a £100,000 fund for Ending Gang Violence and Exploitation
(EGVE) Forum members and we supported 11 local projects. These included projects to
support work with students, providing help to parents of gang affected children, providing
interventions for gang affected women and girls, and delivering messages in schools
about not carrying knives.</p><p> </p><p>In August this year we invited bidding for
a further round of EGVE funding which is open to EGVE Forum members, of which over
200 different organisations are now represented in the Forum and able to put forward
a bid for funding for a specific project if they are interested. We have made up to
£300,000 available.</p>
