About Us

The Youth Endowment Fund was established in March 2019 by children's charity Impetus, with a £200m endowment and ten year mandate from the Home Office.

Our mission

We're here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.

How we're working to prevent violence affecting children

To make a lasting difference we must do more than just fund and evaluate promising programmes to prevent violence affecting children. We have to make change happen - changing policy and practice - so that children are better supported and violence reduces.

Supporting practice improvement

This self-assessment tool has been designed to support police forces to embed child centred policing and self-assess their alignment to the NPCC CYP Charter.
