Sussex Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) Project Evaluation - AWARD

The Sussex Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) is one of 20 Home Office funded units across England and Wales, which were launched in 2019.

Current funding arrangements from the Home Office run until the end of March 2025.

This funding is used to facilitate a range of projects across Sussex, which are a mix of interventions with young people in schools, colleges and through detached youth work, mentoring and training for professionals and parents and more intensive work with families, communities and young people involved in serious violence.

Evaluation has been a mandatory element of the grant funding to all VRUs.

In this funding year (2024/25) we are seeking process and impact evaluations for two interventions, plus and evaluation of the overarching Theory of Change model for all Sussex VRP work.
