Beat the barriers: Millwall FC community football scheme
Tom Rolt, Millwall Community Trust, explained that last summer a successful football project had taken place on four estates in Camberwell. The sessions included football, social education and enterprise workshops. There were also trips arranged to see championship fixtures at The Den stadium. Every Saturday there were about 30 young people involved. The project was going from strength to strength and more sessions were planned for 2014.
The chair thanked Tom for all the work undertaken and added there had been a lot of positive feedback from the community.
Youth Community Council
Edward James, Southwark Youth Service, explained that local young people had raised a number of questions relating to community safety for the meeting including: Lighting on roads, dogs running without leads and mobile phone thefts on buses.
Jonathon Toy, Head of Community Safety & Enforcement, offered to meet with the young people from the community to discuss specific issues and offer crime prevention advice.
