Young people earn praise

AN ACTION group organised by young people for young people was praised at an evening celebrating community work across south Sheffield.

The Manor Action Club stole the show at the South Sheffield Partnership relaunch event when members gave a presentation about the work they do.

Founders Emmajo Briggs, Amanda Holloway, Lacey Nettleship and Tammy Nettleship took to the stage to explain how they engage young people through activities including drama and sport.

Their aim is to tackle serious issues such as bullying and anti-social behaviour - with a recent initiative involving handing out free footballs to gangs of young people to encourage them to move off the streets and on to playing fields.
