Day eleven

Along with most of the rest of the population I was glued to the TV last night watching the leaders' debates. It was fascinating and perhaps a real turning point for the LibDems.

I was interested in Nick Clegg's comments about preventing a young offender developing into an adult criminal.  Amongst the discussion on the economy and job losses this election, we haven't heard much about tackling youth crime and anti-social behaviour.  Working with young people who are leaving prison to involve them in their communities, develop skills, gather work experience and set them on the road to employment is a big step towards stopping them reoffending. Groundwork's New Horizons programme is doing just that - helping young people to escape the vicious cycle of crime.

Know How Non Profit's interviews with the third sector ministers from the three main parties are worth a listen too:
