The Greater Manchester Combined Authority and Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit worked with 10GM, other VCSE providers and local communities to co-design our approach to a community-led violence reduction programme.

The programme is one of the Violence Reduction Unit’s flagship projects across Greater Manchester and is in line with the ambitions of the Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Strategy and Public Service Reform programme to involve communities to identify priorities, problem solve and direct investment and interventions accordingly.

In Salford, the programme will be delivered within Little Hulton and will involve the following:

• Understanding Little Hulton – mapping the physical assets and getting to know who lives and works there
• Community engagement and co-design – engaging with young people and communities to understand the strengths and challenges in Little Hulton, and collaborating with them to get their ideas and insight to inform the priorities for investment
• Amplifying community voice – ensuring lived experience and youth voice is embedded across the programme
• Providing grants to VCSE organisations – to deliver the priorities identified by young people and the community of Little Hulton
• Supporting the delivery partnership – the formation and ongoing support for the local VCSE Violence Reduction Partnership
