The West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership is looking for community members interested in the role faith and belief plays in reducing serious violence to join our working groups.

This is an exciting opportunity to co-create, in partnership with the VRP, a Faith & Belief Toolkit for reducing serious violence in West Yorkshire. Importantly, you will be able to share with us, learn from each other, and celebrate the multiple ways different faiths and beliefs can contribute to violence reduction, making a real change in our region.

Representation on the group is voluntary, but reasonable out of pocket expenses, e.g. travel/parking within West Yorkshire will be met, if the group deems it necessary to meet in-person and if travelling for community consultation.

If you are interested in joining one (or more) of the working groups, please complete the expression of interest form attached.

We are keen to support the needs of communities, if you feel you would like to join the group but need any additional support or assistance in completing the form, please let us know. Expressions of Interest not submitted on the form will not be accepted. They should be sent by email to the Violence Reduction Partnership at vrp@westyorks-ca.gov.uk by Friday 10^th May.

For an informal conversation and any questions about the project please contact Lydia Isherwood, Research & Evaluation Specialist via email at lydia.isherwood@westyorks-ca.gov.uk

Further information about the VRP is available on their website.
