The VRN is an alliance of groups, organisations, and communities determined to prevent and reduce serious violence locally. We share a vision for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to be a place where all people can lead their lives free from violence and the fear of violence. Our mission is to achieve 'prevention through connection' by building an inclusive, collaborative and courageous network which will drive the short- and long-term change required to successfully tackle the causes and consequences of violence.
