6 organisations are involved, working directly with the Youth Offending Service.

Commencing in November 2021 the Sport and Life Skills Project has been embedded within the work of the Youth Offending Service who have now agreed to scale and replicate across the whole of Essex and Southend, whilst we have Thurrock in sight.

The project involves our Local Trusted Organisations working directly with the Youth Offending Service (YOS), taking referrals via our Sports Connector.

YOS have agreed to include this project as part of their leaving and aftercare package for every children and young person they engage with for whatever reason.

We are also pleased to announce that funding has been agreed for this project to be rolled out across the year (2023-24).
