PCC-funded youth project looks at anti-social behaviour through a new lens

Young people have been exploring their creative potential as part of an innovative media project funded by Police and Crime Commissioner Rupert Matthews.

The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland PCC provided a grant worth £10k to Candy Arts Community Interest Company (CIC) to run creative media activities from the African Caribbean Centre in Highfields, Leicester.

The project, which runs until January 2025, aims to empower young people aged between 15 and 17 to unleash their creative talents in a safe and encouraging environment. This is designed to prevent their involvement or future involvement in anti-social behaviour (ASB) and provide them with a sense of community and belonging.

Students learn essential life skills including project management, teamwork and digital media proficiency and engage in pre-production activities such as developing stories and scripts for future film projects. Up to 30 young people are currently involved in the project.
