VRP in Bramley

Who is the service for?

Young people aged 10 to 16 in the Bramley area of Leeds.

Referrals can be made directly to our Children and Young Person's team. Please download a referral form and return it to cypreferrals@barca-leeds.org.

Delivered as part of the West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP), this project supports young people to address and reduce the risk factors in their lives enabling them to lead healthier happier lives.

Our team provides a flexible approach to engage young people through:

one to one support and community interventions around knife crime and anti-social behaviour.
virtual reality headsets that help them to make the right choices on gang and knife crime related issues.
detached work on the streets of Bramley targeting hot spot areas specifically around carrying weapons and the law.
