A Dreamscheme is community youth development based on a simple concept of WORK, POINTS and TRIPS. Young people are enabled to carry out community based work projects for which they earn points. These can then be exchanged for trips or activities of their choice. The key is in its simplicity to replicate across almost any estate or community. Dreamschemes exist as parts of Housing Associations; Residents' Associations; Community Safety Units; Regeneration Initiatives; or simply as a way for parents to ensure their children have something constructive to engage in. One of the key benefits we've observed is in the reduction of anti-social behaviour; the knock on effects of this have reached policing of the areas, improved living environments, raised expectations of the young people and improved communications and relationships between residents. To find out more read some of the successful case studies we've received from groups across the UK; or request a pack and see how The Dreamscheme can make an impact for you. The important impact of these schemes makes it an attractive prospect for many businesses who want to get involved in local community initiatives as part of their corporate responsibility programme. If you want to learn more about the ways your business can make a difference find out where your nearest Dreamscheme is and see how you can get involved. |
