Humber VPP Partnership Conference

Our 2025 Partnership Conference is open for registrations.

Following the success of our previous conferences, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about our progress to date. This includes commissioned interventions, data sharing and how we are working with key partners to apply our local response strategy to reducing serious violence.
