Funded by the Big Lottery, Wider Impact Consultancy has delivered an independent evaluation and review of the future organisational structure of the Bridgend Youth Works programme. The commission has involved scrutiny of outputs and structured in depth interviews with young people, local residents, local businesses, tenants and residents and key service providers, such as the Safer Bridgend Partnership, local Police, Valleys to Coast Housing Association, Youth Services, Groundwork Bridgend & Neath Port Talbot and Directors within the Local Authority.
Declared ‘fit for purpose’ by Wider Impact Consultancy, impressive outcomes of note include a 47% reduction in crime, 53% reduction in youth nuisance calls, confidence by the Police not to apply for ASBOs and a 61% reduction in tenant turnover rates from 83% to 32%
The review includes a number of strategic recommendations, which are now being considered by the Bridgend Youth Works Multi Agency Steering Group.
Final report presented to the Local Multi-Agency Steering Group.
