Project: Communities First
Funding: £12,000 from Rochdale Boroughwide Housing
Aim: To show the impact antisocial behaviour can have on a young person's future
Being locked up in a prison cell, seeing how easily a street confrontation can escalate and mock arrests all form part of a scheme to warn young people in Rochdale about the dangers of antisocial behaviour.
As part of the Communities First scheme, run by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH), a series of workshops have been designed to warn young people about the impact antisocial behaviour could have on their future.
The real-life scenarios are presented by experts to Year 10 pupils in a matter-of-fact way that spells out what life is like in prison and the consequences of joy-riding and other criminal or antisocial behaviour.
