Call for renewed Croydon funding for 'lifeline' programmes for youngsters
Briefly

"It's really important that the DfE continue to fund HAF services and thankfully we've been able to keep so many young people off roads and away from street violence because over 71 schemes were funded through the HAF scheme by the local authority."
"We engaged over 45 children over the summer period and they had a great time and some of them were tearful as the scheme came to an end. It is so important that the DfE recognize the benefits that young people and their families have by having these schemes available."
"This scheme reached out to hundreds if not thousands of children over Croydon and we actually saw a reduction in youth violence in our incredible summer when these programmes were in place."
