Mission: To educate young people about safe scooter riding
Funding: 900 per course for up to 12 young people from Positive Futures, Westminster Crime and Disorder Reduction Team and Positive Activities for Young People

Minogue is community sports officer for the City of Westminster, and runs the council's Reducing Reckless Moped Riding scheme.
