The young people who use the centre via groups and our youth board were a part of consultations within their groups. One of the common themes was that they'd like to have a space where it would be good to create a fun/comfy area in which they could relax during groups, or have as a chill space during study sessions when exam season comes around. The idea would be to make it a space that young people would want to hang out in, with nice seats/couches, LED lights to create a nice setting, some books that could help with exams or even some new books for the rest of the community to possibly enjoy when the youth groups aren't on. It has also been decided by the young people to be in our glass room. This room is soundproof and has been identified as a good spot, as it provides a quiet space for our neurodiverse young people when they need space. Budget £650 - flux leather couches (x2) £80 - LED Light stands (x2) £150 - additional items to create a welcoming space.  

 

 

Due to the tragic events in Irvine during the summer and elsewhere we wish to raise awareness to the consequences of weapon carrying.

The Street Striker Knife Crime Initiative is a community-led project developed by ACES to tackle the growing issue of knife crime among young people in our local area. By combining sport, education, and early intervention, the initiative aims to divert young people away from violence, raise awareness of the devastating consequences of carrying knives, and equip young people with positive pathways for their futures. in effct change lives.

This innovative approach uses street striker and activites to suit those who don't like football as an entry point to engage young people who may otherwise be at risk of involvement in anti-social behaviour, or knife-related crime. Alongside Street striker , we will deliver interactive workshops, mentoring, and awareness sessions designed to educate, empower, and inspire
