  • Résumé

  • Youth crime and violence in the UK is increasing at an alarming rate, at large part due to £1billion in cuts to youth services between 2010 and 2019. Children and young people have been abandoned by the system in many places. Charitable organisations have have had to take matters in to their own hands.


    In this episode Mary Rose speaks to founder of the London Basketball Association (LBA) Tony Lazare. LBA supports 4000 young people aged 11 to 24 each year across five London boroughs. Operating on an annual income of just £265k, the social savings from their impact are estimated at £18 million


    Using basketball as its primary engagement tool, LBA offers opportunities to become accredited as a basketball coach or official, building employability and life skills. Since LBA was founded in 2012, 913 coaches and officials have been certified.
