An initiative lead by leisure trust Tone Leisure in Devon is encouraging young people to visit local leisure centres on Friday nights as part of efforts to tackle antisocial behaviour.

The VIBE Youth Leisure Nights project operates in four of Tone's leisure centres in the South Hams district of Devon and is an open access programme for young people aged between 11 and 19.

For an entrance fee of £2 they can take part in a host of sporting and social activities on a Friday night, which encourage them to spend their time positively and achieve healthy lifestyles.

Activities include football, trampolining, swimming, gym, inflatable games, basketball, musical events and much more. There are also health workshops such as stopping smoking, sexual health, and drug and alcohol awareness.

The initiative has been supported by police in the district who say Youth Leisure Nights are helping to keep young people off the streets and out of trouble.
