Dartington Service Design Lab is working with London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) and Friendhood to build a shared, city-wide understanding of trauma-informed practice to lay the foundations for meaningful, system-wide change in London. The Trauma-Informed London Project brings people together across sectors to create a consistent vision and definition of trauma-informed practice, elevate promising practice, and strengthen London’s collective capacity to work in trauma-informed ways and reduce violence.

The Uniformed Youth Fund is part of the Government’s ‘National Youth Guarantee’ to ensure every young person across England will have access to regular out of school activities, adventures away from home and opportunities to volunteer. Together with our partners at Ipsos, we are evaluating how successful the Fund has been in its goal of reducing waiting lists, and exploring how young people may benefit from being part of Uniformed Youth Groups.
