Project: Knowsley youth offending services allotment project
Funding: £9,000 from Knowsley Borough Council
Aim: To change the behaviour of young people who have been in trouble Fresh vegetables grown by young people who have been in trouble are being used to help others eat better food in Knowsley.
In an attempt to address antisocial behaviour, the borough's youth offending service is using an allotment patch as part of its work to change the behaviour of the people it helps along with providing healthy food to worthy causes.
Produce grown by young people in contact with the service is either given to charities and victims of crime or sold to raise money for the victim support service.
