Positive Futures was launched in March 2000, as part of New Labour's overarching aim to tackle social exclusion, particularly in respect of juvenile nuisance and youth drug [miss] use.
In September 2001 Leisure Futures was commissioned by Sport England to carry out a "Review of impact and good practice" on a range of revenue funded schemes included in two of its main 'branded' programmes - Active Communities and Positive Futures.
The aim of the research was to:
- Carry out a 'short and sharp' review of the sporting and broader social impacts of the Active Communities and Positive Futures projects that will provide evidence of what has been achieved to date, identify good practice, and inform and help to shape future investment decisions in these and related programmes.
This report covers the evaluation of the Positive Futures programme [2002] and is a summary report. More detailed findings are available in the individual project reports, which are the subject of a separate document, copies of which are available from Sport England.
