The aim of the programme is to deliver outreach work in Doncaster, Mexborough, and Conisborough, using the CIC’s gaming bus (converted from a minibus) to engage young people in areas with anti-social behaviour, including some of the most disadvantaged boroughs in the UK.
Their experienced youth workers encourage the young to play games on the gaming bus, and have a drink and snack. They also take sporting equipment with them, such as boxing bags and gloves, to engage young people in physical activity.
The CIC are aiming to change attitudes and perceptions of the police, gang culture, knife crime, and the community as a whole.
