A pilot project involving a group of young volunteers aged from 10 to 19 has been launched to help reduce the amount of crime in the area.
It is being organised by the town’s Youth Offending Team and volunteers from Holy Family Catholic Primary School are taking part, as well as some older children.
Team manager Kevin Leaning said “We have teamed up with 12 young people in a pilot project that enables them to deliver their own crime prevention lessons in schools. They have been enthusiastic and quick to learn from the team’s early intervention workers, enabling the youngsters to go into schools and deliver their own message that crime will impact adversely on individuals, as well as family and friends.”
More about this worthwhile initiative can be read in the Swindon Advertiser.
