The mayor of London has announced £6 million in funding to tackle violence in Hackney neighbourhoods and elsewhere in London.
As part of its MyEnds programme, Sadiq Khan s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) will invest in Hackney s CVS (Council for Voluntary Service) to support the delivery of targeted interventions to help reduce violence in Hackney Wick.
Interventions will focus on hotspot areas such as Marsh Hill towards Homerton, the end of Wick Road, Cassland Road and Trowbridge.
Saqib Deshmukh, head of youth programmes at Hackney CVS, said: “We want to use this opportunity to build on the excellent practice of local groups in Hackney Wick in working with young people and our communities to reduce violence and improve life chances.

LAST year s Dragon Boat Challenge had to be cancelled thanks to Covid. It was reinvented as an online event - and still raised £20,000 for good causes. But given what happened last year the Rotary Club of York, which celebrates its 100th birthday this month, is determined to make this year s anniversary event a big success - Covid permitting, of course. The Challenge is planned for September. And it will be the perfect way of coming back! said media officer Mike Fieldsend. The Covid pandemic has played havoc with the Rotary club s plans over the last year - just as it has with so many other organisations.
