10GM
10GM - A joint venture to support the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector in Greater Manchester

The community-led approach to violence reduction means the VRU works closely with communities to understand the strengths, challenges and needs of the community and determine how local investments will be made. Several boroughs across the city region have received funding from the VRU as part of its investment in community-led programmes, outlined in Greater Manchester’s Serious Violence Action Plan.

The key priority for success is building trust with communities and acting on their challenges and ideas. The programme works with young people aged 10 to 25 years, and their families.

All ten districts of GM are now fully engaged in the programme. Via 10GM, and working with local VCSE infrastructure organisations, the VRU has recruited Violence Reduction Alliance Facilitators in each locality area that will support community engagement, co-production and sustainability aspects of the programme. To date, over 1,700 young people aged 24 and under have been reached by the programmes.
