Funding: £164,000 from the Youth Justice Board
Aim: To reduce levels of antisocial behaviour
A youth project run by crime reduction charity Nacro has helped reduce rates of antisocial behaviour on some of the most troubled estates in Burnley by more than 40 per cent.
Established in 2005, the Burnley Youth Inclusion Project provides positive activities to disadvantaged young people aged 13 to 17 who are at risk of getting involved in crime, antisocial behaviour, truancy or who may be faced with social exclusion.
Nacro project workers help young people address problems such as alcohol and drug misuse, family breakdown and anger management, after assessing the needs of each young person. Targeted action plans are drawn up and reviewed monthly.
