Stockland Green

Streetwise is a new and significant programme in the Stockland Green area. The project operates a number of sessions each week concentrating on identified troubled hotspots which the local police confirm as hotspots where young people congregate. The youth workers then engage with young people the aim is to divert them away from negative and potential anti-social behaviour by communicating and consulting with them to identify and engage them in activities that are of interest and significant to them.
