Positive Activities

From April 2008 the DCSF is rolling out a programme of extended Positive Activities across local authorities in England.

These will provide activities throughout the year for young people aged 8-19 to move them away from involvement in violent group crime. In the first year the programme will be developed with fifteen local authorities: are Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Trafford; and in London – Croydon, Greenwich, Hackney, Haringey, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark.
