Early Engagement Session to discuss the future of the Girls & Young Womens Programme

The London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) invites you to an online early market engagement session on Wednesday 26th April 2023 to discuss the future commissioning of our Girls and Young Women's programme.

This is an important service which provides critical support to girls and young women aged 10-25 affected by, or at risk, of violence and exploitation.

The VRU's commissioned girls and young women's service will be coming to an end later this year. We have an evaluation partner carrying out an impact assessment of this service and we will be looking at these findings.

This session is an active session , where we will be putting together some questions and breaking people up into groups to get your views. This is also an opportunity to hear from frontline partners on what else we might consider through this commissioning exercise.

The VRU anticipate the invitation to tender to be issued late May 2023 (this date is only indicative).

If you are available to attend this online event, please reply to VRUCommissioning@london.gov.uk by midday on Friday 21st April 2023 to register. Please include: "VRU Girls & Young Women's Early Market Engagement Session' in the title of the email.

If you cannot attend the session but would still like to contribute, please state in your email and we will arrange for a written response to be e-mailed to you.
