We worked with the Newcastle United Community Foundation to
deliver the Kickin’ project which took place during the school
summer holidays. Kickin’ engaged with over 500 young people and
targeted areas of high levels of anti-social behaviour. Kickin’ was
a successful pilot project and directed the more structured Your
Goals Newcastle programme. This citywide project, delivered in
partnership with Hat-Trick and the Newcastle United Foundation,
engages with up to 100 young people every week and has strong
employability and diversionary objectives. The project has had a
significant impact on levels of crime and anti-social behaviour as
well as providing a number of positive exit routes for the young
people who are involved. |
