'This will stop young people getting into crime and anti-social behaviour'
Summaya MughalAvailable for over a year
Young people at risk of turning to crime are being supported to learn new skills and boost their confidence in a series of creative youth-led projects. The idea is being funded by Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Police and Crime Commissioner Rupert Matthews with a 20 thousand pound grant to Leicester charity E2. The charity plans to launch a range of schemes for disadvantaged youngsters aged 10-16 in the Beaumont Leys area, and the first strand of the project will involve working intensely with young people at high risk of offending. Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Police and Crime Commissioner Rupert Matthews explains to Summaya Mughal how the project is going to work.
