In response to a spike in anti-social behaviour at interface areas in North Belfast, Belfast PCSP have been working with Belfast City Council’s Safer City Co-ordinator, Limestone United, PSNI and Youth Justice to develop the ‘Sport Across the Interface’ project.
The project aims to enhance community safety for young people at interface areas through the Community Champions of Limestone Road - local young people who held discussions with local primary schools about their own experiences and the implications on their lives and their community of negative interface.
The project is on-going, totalling 8 sessions with 400 participants – and will culminate in a football tournament for the young people involved.
