NEW figures have revealed that more than 8,500 young people took part in a summer activities programme across Staffordshire.

The Staffordshire Commissioner’s Space scheme aims to help reduce anti-social behaviour by working with organisations to offer sessions for those aged between eight and 17 during the school holidays.

It is funded by Proceeds of Crime funding with a contribution by Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service.

Staffordshire Commissioner Ben Adams said:

> “It’s been great to see so many young people get stuck into Space events once again this year.  
>  
> “The programme provides an opportunity for children to meet new friends and try something new during the summer holidays.  
>  
> “A huge thanks to all partners that come together to facilitate the Space activities which help to reduce anti-social behaviour and make a positive difference in our communities.  
>  
> “I look forward to hearing more of the feedback from everyone who attended or supported this year’s programme, and I hope to see just as many young people enjoying Space next summer.”

Activities in the Staffordshire Space programme included archery, axe throwing, studio sessions, leisure centre passes and fishing.
