About this contract

MyEnds 3.0 is an evolved version of the flagship VRU MyEnds programme which will run from April 2027 until March 2029. This new iteration will allow us to implement key learning from the MyEnds programmes and strengthen the key components of the overall programme design, optimising innovation with more targeted strategic alignment. The MyEnds programme utilises a hyper-local approach to address needs in neighbourhoods across the capital that are most affected by high and sustained levels of violence. The core model endorsed by the VRU for this programme is based on the empowerment of communities, recognising the critical role and collective impact community stakeholders have in local violence reduction initiatives. This is achieved through the delivery of key activity strands, including strengthening local partnerships, young people and community participation, capacity building of the grassroots sector, and the delivery of locally informed interventions. The VRU is seeking Provider(s) to deliver the programme across eligible boroughs. Eligible Boroughs: 1. Lambeth 2. Croydon 3. Southwark 4. Tower Hamlets 5. Newham 6. Enfield 7. Haringey 8. Hackney 9. Lewisham 10. Islington 11
