COMMUNITY TRUST TRANSITION PROJECT

Barnet FC Community Trust has been working in partnership with London Borough of Harrow, the Metropolitan Police and Harrow schools deliver a Transition project aimed at helping young people equip themselves for the leap to secondary school, into growing up and making them aware that they are responsible for making the right choices.  
The project encourages open discussion about their fears and apprehensions, to show that their peer group often feel the same way.  
Transition then focuses on how their behaviour and overall responsibility brings about positive changes not only within their groups but in the wider community, leading to a better understanding of the impact of their actions. 
It engages the children in a positive and fun activity that delivers a strong message. Barnet FC Community Trust coaches and Metropolitan Police officers deliver workshops on personal safety and community responsibility with worksheets, safety cards and competition, which is supported by fun sports / football sessions and player visits. The culmination of the project will include an awards event and football tournament at the Hive Football Centre.
