Home Cooked is a violence reduction programme being co-produced and delivered in the Tottenham Hale area. It is part of the Mayor’s London Violence Reduction Unit ‘MyEnds’ which supports neighbourhoods affected by high levels of violence. It is about increasing trust and collaboration between local communities, stakeholders, key local institutions and statutory partners.
The programme is being delivered by a consortium led by the Bridge Renewal Trust with Father2Father, The Godwin Lawson Foundation, Mind In Haringey and the North London Partnership Consortium (NLPC).
The programme was awarded £750,000 funding (April 2021- March 2023) by the Mayor’s London Violence Reduction Unit and the consortium has been developing a local impactful and inclusive partnership to tackle serious youth violence in the Tottenham Hale Ward area.
Home Cooked is about bringing young people and the wider community together and working in a collaborative way to reduce violence. In order to do so, it uses a bottom-up approach to build a stronger, safer and inclusive Tottenham Hale.
