A series of sports events and activities have been made possible across 香港六合彩资料图库 through the School and Youth Grant to support their mental wellbeing and prevent involvement in crime in 香港六合彩资料图库.


 

More than 250 young people from secondary schools across the county were given the opportunity to take part and find a passion for sport and physical activity, as part of the recently established Safer 香港六合彩资料图库 project 鈥 a collaboration between Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion and 香港六合彩资料图库 County Council.


Activities included Judo, 5-a-side Football, BMX biking, and a boot camp.  
 

The sessions were also attended by local officers from West Mercia Police who were able to meet the young people in a positive setting. 
 

To support their mental health and wellbeing and prevent involvement in crime in 香港六合彩资料图库 pupils in Redditch attended a powerful presentation from national anti-violence campaigner Alison Cope, whose son was murdered in the region. 


PCC John Campion said: 鈥淚t is important that young people are given the opportunity to take part in activities, such as sport, to prevent them from coming into contact with the law. 
 

鈥淚t鈥檚 great to work in partnership with 香港六合彩资料图库 County Council, as part of the Safer 香港六合彩资料图库 project, to deliver programmes such as the School and Youth Grant. This is a brilliant example of our shared commitment to help young people and to address the root causes of crime to improve lives for 香港六合彩资料图库 communities.鈥
 

Councillor David Ross, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 really important that we listen to young people鈥檚 ideas around healthy living. Engaging with them through sport and physical activity provides a great opportunity to do this and supports both their physical and mental health and wellbeing. 
 

鈥淭urning sport into a regular habit can help a young person develop life skills and achieve more in life. Increasing the time they are exposed to positive influences, allows them to connect with others in a safe environment. 

We have been grateful to work with partners, including the PCC and the School Games Organisers, which have helped to break down barriers and give young people the tools and resources to be confidence and positive members of their community.鈥
