the PCCGB
The Police Community Clubs of Great Britain (PCCGB) was founded by four Metropolitan Police Officers in 1992, with the initial idea of using boxing gyms to provide young people with a safe alternative to roaming the streets. The PCCGB now runs a network of young people’s clubs that extends across the UK, offering a range of activities and learning opportunities. Each club has a serving or retired police officer or member of the Home Office serving on its committee.
The PCCGB now also offers a range of education resources and publications produced in partnership with Community Initiatives Associates. These include Barney & Echo primary school PSHE storybooks, the No Respect: Cause and Effect high school anti-social behaviour education project, and Citizenship Magazine.
