Crime Reduction Programme

Streetcage Sports is an organisation with a genuine enthusiasm for all sports and are aware of how powerful it can be to tackle community issues.

With over 10 years experience in delivering community sports projects across some of the most socially deprived areas of the North West our results speak for themselves. Our projects seen Streetcage Sports work with over 5000 youths in 2007/2008 and reduce anti-social behaviour in areas by up to 37% when an independenet report and evaluation was completed.

Streetcage Sports are aware of the difficulties in tackling anti social behavior and youth crime. The problems that face our communities concerning anti social behaviour issues are multifaceted, which is why we have integrated community support services into our program when delivering our Streetcage Sports projects aimed at reducing anti-social behaviour.

Streetcage Sports use sport as a hook to get young people involved and subsequently chooses specialised agencies to engage with the young people to attempt to have a long term positive affect on their future.

Streetcage Sports understand crime prevention is not the primary motive for sports coaching, however planned and managed carefully with the support of community services can result as a positive by-product. .For this reason, Streetcage Sports works closely with Police officers and Community support officers across the North – west.

Streetcage Sports do not just show up with a portable cage and a bag of balls and claim to be delivering anti social behaviour projects. We are aware of the importance of community buy in to our projects before a ball has been kicked. Our qualified coaching staff and co-ordinators work closely with youths and community workers to develop a programme, break down barriers and get to know youths on a personal note. Our managers & co-ordinators also have a hands on approach so they can relate to youths on the street.

Techniques:

Streetcage Sports identifies a venue and a need in the community by seeking to work with the community so that ownership is given to the young people and the community.

We then meet with our project manager to see if we can identify funding by carefully planning & writing our own bids.

Streetcage Sports then plans a carefully constructed program when delivering projects to tackle Anti-Social behaviour. Community Consultation: Streetcage Sports will consult the local youth clubs, community leaders, community organisations, local police, anti social behaviour teams, PSO’s, Fire service, local PCT and any other local people who wish to have an insight into the project.

Combined coaching program: Streetcage Sports prides itself in delivering an interactive coaching program that uses the input and feedback of the young people to give a greater sense of ownership when delivering the coaching sessions.
