Laureus Urban Stars (www.activecommunities.org.uk) works closely with existing grass roots sports projects that are already engaging at-risk young people who are in danger of becoming involved in youth crime in some of the most deprived areas of the city.
Working with young people aged 13-19, tackling gang membership, crime and anti-social behaviour in some of the UK's most deprived communities, the project works with both male and female participants and offers young people routes into education, training and employment.
