FIGURES have revealed that more than 9,000 young people took part in the Space summer programme this year.

A range of sessions were delivered by public, voluntary and private sector across Staffordshire for ages eight to 17.

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

Staffordshire Commissioner Ben Adams said:

> “Space has been running in its current format since 2015 – and it continues to grow each year.  
>  
> “It’s a great opportunity for children from a variety of backgrounds to meet new friends and try something new during the school holidays.  
>  
> “A huge thanks to all partners that come together to facilitate the 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 Space programme included fishing, horse riding, days out and multi-sport sessions.
