Swanage Presents: how it came about!

Swanage Safer Neighbourhood Teams were asked to create a project under the Purbeck Community Investment Challenge that will address police priorities one of which is to reduce Anti-Social behaviour.
The members of Swanage Safer Neighbourhood Team decided that the idea of a talent show involving young people involved in ASB and present their talents in front of senior residents of the Swanage area may help to reduce ASB and the fear of ASB.
Police initially enquired if partners such as Dorset Youth Service, Swanage Council and the Swanage Carnival Committee would like to become involved. The idea was received with interest and a small project team was created.
PC Ashdown at that point was given the task of project managing the talent show with the help of three other police staff and the partners above.
PC Ashdown decided to approach Marie Brennan the Course Leader of BA (Hons) Arts and event Management at Arts University College Bournemouth. Marie kindly agreed that students may wish to help with the planning and presenting of the talent show and that they could use it as part of their project work. This is were me and Charolotte came into it!
