Funding £15,000 mix of central government, local authority and community funding
Aim Engage young people in positive activities
A project in Lincolnshire has helped reduce antisocial behaviour by offering young people the chance to go on a week-long summer camp.
More than 300 young people took part in the initiative, the brainchild of community volunteer Steve Hill and local councillor Les Bonner.
The holidays were offered to young people who deserved a break, either because of personal circumstances, or as a reward for making a positive contribution to the neighbourhood.
A combination of paid staff and community volunteers put on the three week-long camps, which meant the cost of each young person's place was less than £50. Volunteers included police officers, neighbourhood wardens and youth workers.
