Project: Haggerston's mobile Youth Inclusion Project (YIP) Mission: To broaden the range of young people the YIP can work with Funding: 85,000 a year from the Youth Justice Board
In densely populated areas such as the London Borough of Hackney, youth inclusion projects can become focused on a small locality.
Projects target the 50 young people who are most at risk of offending, and their peers, but other young people who live nearby can slip through the net.
To get round this problem, Haggerston Youth Inclusion Project (YIP), which is run by charity Crime Concern, is becoming mobile.
It will still have a base in Haggerston, and work with about 30 to 35 young people from that area, but the remainder of its core group will be made up of young people from other parts of south Hackney.
