Police Community Clubs GB (PCCGB)

Since 1999 our emphasis has been on the introduction of multi-activities within each club. These include seminars / talks on drug awareness, personal safety, racial awareness, personal health issues, first aid, bullying and truancy. Other community-based activities include homework classes and the awareness of minority groups.

In many cases, the clubs now concentrate on direct partnerships with local authorities seeking to complement their local Crime Reduction Strategies by engaging our clubs, thereby reaching those children and young people who would otherwise be involved in crime.

An initiative that was taken up in 2002 was the introduction of the ‘Community Clubs’ concept into schools and Youth Offending Teams. Through Police Officers who work in schools and Youth Offending Teams, we continue to forge partnerships.

Whilst amateur boxing was the initial vehicle which gave this organisation its foothold, we now seek to form clubs based on a wider range of sports and community activities. The over-riding principle shall at all times remain, that we shall seek to enhance the lives and life skills of our children and young people. In this way they shall be better citizens with heightened ‘community awareness’.
