A summary of activity from across the Bedfordshire Violence and Exploitation Reduction Unit (VERU) over the past month.
We worked with both local and national partners to give young people a voice around tackling poverty and inequality, as well as coordinating two Bedfordshire teams to attend a national football tournament.
Our YIS team has been delivering lots of talks and assemblies in schools in the run up to the summer holidays.
Violence Reduction Units (VRUs) from across England and Wales will meet on Thursday (15 July) to evaluate their progress in reducing violence and helping to build stronger, more resilient communities.
