Projects > Street Teams

Street Teams were originally funded by the Youth Offending Team and worked for ten weeks in each of four "hotspot" areas defined by West Yorkshire Police.

The Thorpe Edge sessions, based at Rockwell Centre, Summerfield Road, were due to end in October but were re-commissioned until the end of March 2011 by Rockwell Centre. Sessions now run 6.30-8.30pm on Saturday evenings for three weeks each month, with a trip out every fourth week as an incentive for positive behaviour and contributions.

Quotes from Support partner agencies

“My team have recently been working alongside Sofia Mahmood from the Bradford Youth Development Partnership regarding the youth provision on a Friday evening in Buttershaw. In conjunction with this we have been looking at anti-social behaviour in the area over the six week holiday period - historically Buttershaw becomes a hotspot for anti-social behaviour over this period. I am pleased to say that this year saw a 40% reduction in anti-social behaviour over the period, compared to the last two years”
