The funding has been put into the mayor's Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) and will be directed to areas of the capital most affected by crime. The package of activities, ranging from sport to music production to mentoring - as well as employment opportunities - will work to support young people during a time of year when the evidence suggests they are more vulnerable to exploitation and violence.
Tackling violence is my top priority and I'm committed to building a safer London for everyone by being tough on violence and tough on its complex causes, said Mr Khan. That means putting the next generation of Londoners front and centre, and working to provide the investment, support and helping hand for young people who need it the most.
