ENGIE in the Community - Swerve It Road Experience

ENGIE is delighted to be supporting Kent County Council’s Youth Service, by funding several activities for young people aimed at preventing involvement in gangs, youth violence and anti-social behaviour.

Working with the New House Youth Hub in Sittingbourne, ENGIE supported eight young people from across the county to attend a ‘Swerve it’ road safety experience. Delivered by Kent Fire and Rescue service, the session took place at a purpose built facility, using powerful stories and interactive experiences to help raise awareness of road safety and the consequences of road accidents.

Given the rise in ‘swerve the car’ incidents, a dangerous craze where youths ride bikes into the path of a vehicles, this experience is an effective way of reinforcing the dangers of this activity, as well as giving young people the skills they need to make better informed decisions in driver and passenger situations.

We look forward to working with New House Youth Hub on other exciting initiatives over the coming year.
