Cheriton Drop-In

As a result of a significant increase in anti-social behaviour and reported crime, the Cheriton Drop-In Firewall was set up to engage with vulnerable young people at risk of offending and to provide them with a safe environment to meet, build friendships and address the issues affecting them.

Figures suggest that more than 30 young people are now positively engaged in their local community and defying the recent negative publicity.

Benefits

  • Statistics suggest that anti-social behaviour is reducing as a result of the project.
  • Already some of the issues affecting young people are beginning to be addressed within Firewall.
