DCC, CLD DISC Target Project

We will deliver 2 x nights per week (50 weeks) of Free, Healthy Youth Diversion Activities run by local young people from the local area. It will attracting around 250 local young people through its door each week. Around 170 Young people will play football delivered by our own local our young people, and around 70 other youngsters will spend time with Youth work staff with warm clothing, blankets, warm drinks and snacks and warm shelter if they require 1:1 support. Around 70% of the 250 local young people attending each week will come from SIMD areas. This is why we need to provide warm clothing, blankets, hot water bottles, hot and cold snacks and drinks. WE also provide free football boots and tracksuit tops to every child or young person who cannot afford or access them. It is a direct response to the cost-of-living crisis effecting children and families, and one keyway we feel we can reduce barriers to participation relating to poverty
