We believe that it's worth building upon the millions of taxpayer's money invested into the UK's VRU infrastructure...
Our objective is to work strategically with the UK's 21+ partnerships established by the Home Office since 2019.
These are the official and strategic networks of agencies, providers and community groups already focused upon building healthier, safer and more resilient communities.
Sustainability is paramount...
We created our ecosystem as a communities-led environment within which businesses and providers can connect, commit and operate together.
Our dual impact collaboration model with regional public procurement bodies, provides the neutral mechanism and transparency needed to harness millions in contracted social value, to underpin established programmes and services inside communities.
Dual Impact
(1) Geographically connecting businesses into the programmes/services proven to be delivering impact from building healthier, safer and more resilient communities;
(2) Sustaining this impact, helping in reducing the frontline costs of policing, healthcare, social services and criminal justice.
Strategic Violence Prevention...
In 2023, we established a strategic alliance with Thames Valley VRU (now the Violence Prevention Partnership). Our approach being, to be the environment inside which their established programmes can be sustained by regional suppliers for a dual impact, over the long-term.
Their role being strategic, directing and monitoring for dual impact across the region, guiding all programmes for scale and impact from a unique vantage point.
With the expansion of our Dual Impact Collaborations and the potential decline in post-2025 Home Office funding for VRUs, we're now inviting collaboration from all VRU/VPP/VRN structures.
