The report, commissioned by the Home Office, is the first of three interim reports that form part of the national Positive Futures Case Study Research.
It has been put together by a team in the Faculty of Health and Wellbeing at Sheffield Hallam University, in collaboration with the Manchester Institute for Popular Culture at Manchester Metropolitan University and the Centre for Urban and Community Research at Goldsmiths College, London. It concentrates on seven Positive Futures projects across England: Calderdale, Keighley and Leeds in Yorkshire, North Liverpool and Sefton in Merseyside and Southwark and Wandsworth in London.
Dr Tim Crabbe, professor of the sociology of sport and popular culture at Sheffield Hallam University, who led the research, says: "We want to better understand the role that sports-based projects can play in wider social exclusion and regeneration initiatives."
