Our Action:
Developed in consultation with young people, the Friday Night Projects were set up in partnership with local authorities, the Police & Crime Commissioner and youth charities, with funding from Sport England. They are essentially a leisure centre ‘take over’ by young people every Friday.
Impact:
600 young people have attended so far with plans to develop new Projects more widely in2020 . The menu of different sports, means-tested fees, free transport and the provision of local youth workers means that the Projects are made accessible, safe and fun to those who need them most.
