Are you passionate about helping young people? The Staffordshire Space Programme 2024 invites Stone activity providers to apply for funding and join a rewarding initiative.
The Staffordshire Commissioner’s Office is once again planning the highly successful Space scheme, an initiative that has been pivotal in nurturing and supporting the youth of Staffordshire. As they gear up for the 2024 programme, they’re reaching out to activity providers eager to impact the lives of Stone’s young people.
Space: A Community Effort
Space is more than a summer programme; it’s a community commitment to supporting our young people between 8 and 17 years old. Since 2016, the scheme has helped to reduce antisocial behaviour incidents by 75%, thanks to the collaborative efforts of public, private, and voluntary sectors.
Here’s a roundup of the statistics from the 2023 programme that runs across Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire:
Stone’s Unique Contribution
As a town that thrives on community engagement, Stone is well-placed to offer a diverse range of activities. Whether you run sports clubs, art workshops, or outdoor adventure groups, your contribution can make a significant difference in nurturing and guiding the youth of Staffordshire.
