The Violence Reduction Partnership Personal Budget is available to NPS and CRC people on probation (18-25yr old’s) in Greater Manchester, who are at risk of violent offences or further offending. The funding is intended to uplift and enhance a service user’s life chances and support them with their employment, education and training goals.
Referrals must be made via Offender Managers or Partner agencies for amounts up to £350. In exceptional circumstances higher amounts will be considered. The funding is intended to support the people on probation in a way that reduces their risk of offending and moving them towards employment, education and training.
