Changing Perceptions of a Youth Zone

4th March 2015 by OnSide 1 min

We recently caught up with a number of our advocates who have experienced a Youth Zone, first hand. 

 

Watch the video below and hear from Andrew Robertson who talks about the fantastic partnership his charity P.O.I.N.T has with Mahdlo Youth Zone.

PCSO Robert Smith, who patrols the area around The Factory Youth Zone, discusses how anti-social-behaviour levels have decreased since the Youth Zone has opened.

Local Harpurhey resident turned Youth Zone staff member, Michelle Shields, tells us why she was against the Youth Zone opening before experiencing the great work that goes on which in-turn lead her to join The Factory team.

Richard Clayton, once a councillor who voted against Wigan Youth Zone opening, admits he was wrong to do so and also reveals a surprise new part-time role!
