Councillor Marie McGurk, Convener of Renfrewshire Council’s Communities, Housing and Planning Policy Board, said: “The October holidays are the perfect opportunity for young people to try a new sport, make new friends and keep active at our Street Stuff clubs.
“Our brilliant team of coaches and volunteers will help keep them busy every day, whether they’re a footballer or gamer, I’m sure they’ll find something they’ll enjoy.
“Don’t forget that a free hot and healthy meal is provided at each session as we know the activities can make them work up an appetite!
“So make the most of the break from school and send them along to any of the activities, everyone’s welcome.”
Street Stuff is a diversionary project run in partnership between Renfrewshire Council, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Engage Renfrewshire and St Mirren Football Club.
The programme began in 2009 in Renfrewshire contributing to a reduction in youth disorder and anti-social behaviour by 75 per cent over the first five years with a sustained reduction of 65 per cent.
