Funding: Around £10,000
Aim: To encourage positive behaviour in young people and boost self-confidence
Football and music are being successfully mixed in Nottingham as part of a project designed to engage young people in positive activities.
The community mentoring project at the Djanogly City Academy in Nottingham launched in September 2009 as part of the academy's early intervention programme.
So far it has included behaviour management and football coaching sessions for Year 8 and 9 students at the academy.
Pupils are also given the chance to produce their own songs and find out more about DJing from well-known music figure DJ Spider.
The project has proved successful in encouraging positive behaviour in young people while boosting their self-confidence.
