TMGN
was instrumental in the formation of community groups that engaged
with the Home Secretary, Rht Hon David Blunkett in a visit to Burngreave.
He attended our public meeting 'stop the violence', which was profoundly
relevant at that particular time.
TMGN
has helped young male youths who have found themselves in trouble
with the law. TMGN intervened in a major dispute in Burngreave,
helping to diffuse a potentially volatile situation.
We
organised a community sports initiative that was successful in gaining
funding from Awards for all, South Yorkshire Police and Sport Network.
To ensure success, we engaged with an array of agencies including:
The
result was All Nations Football Tournament with several teams taking
part. All the teams were seven-a-side but have now developed to
the stage that there are plans for an eleven-a-side All Nations
tournament in 2004.
TMGN
has also assisted a wide cross section of the community in Sheffield
that have status issues (asylum seekers, refugees). Working alongside
The Refugee Council, we found a venue that the Kurdish youth could
use, allowing them to come together and develop their ideas and
aspirations.
