**The Home Office is seeking proposals on establishing and running the recently 
announced £200m Youth Endowment Fund.**

[The Fund](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e53f6b3c-cc74-4124-ac64-abc6bc6147ef)
was announced in early October by the Home Secretary and is aimed at supporting 
10 to 14 year olds. It will be delivered over 10 years and will build the evidence
for early intervention, focusing on those most at risk of youth violence including
those displaying signs such as truancy, aggression and involvement in anti-social
behaviour to try and to steer them away from becoming serious offenders. .

The Fund will support delivery of the UK Government’s key serious violence policy
aims, particularly in relation to outcomes relating to early intervention and prevention.
Further information on the UK Government’s approach to tackling serious violence
can be found in the [Serious Violence Strategy](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/serious-violence-strategy)).
