Yeovil Town Community Sports Trust have extended their Social Inclusion projects to seven new areas in all nowand some of the players visited the action at Ilminster, Chard, Crewkerne and Westfield in Yeovil this week.

Danny Schofield visited the Ilminster project on Monday while Andy Welsh was at Crewkerne and Chard on Wednesday, while Paul Warne was at the start up of the Westfield area on Thursday.

After the initial pilot scheme, the Trust has been engaged to supply coaching in Crewkerne, Chard, Ilminster, South Petherton, and the Westfield, Reckleford and Milford areas of Yeovil.

The sessions are aimed at providing some active sports participation for youngsters to engage in rather than perhaps getting in anti-social pastimes.

All the projects are backed by Avon & Somerset Police , South Somerset District Council and the Mendip and South Somerset Safety Partnership with a view to reducinganti social behaviour.

Following an early pilot scheme which the Trust started at Reckleford last year, the success has been such that seven areas are now in the scheme and a new one at Williton in West Somerset will be coming on board soon.

Figures as high as 65% reductions to the level of anti-social call outs have been seen at Reckleford by police, with the new areas hoping to achieve the same success rate.

Commenting on the success of the Project Trust Manager Adrian Hopper said: "We are very encouraged by the level of reductions in anti-social behaviour in Reckleford.

"It is very good news that the Trust's involvement can bring about such reductions. I hope that it can be continued in all our new areas."
