 ASPE Roots Youth Project The ASPE Roots Youth Project, named by its users, has been running weekly since 2012. The group has enabled young people in Cardiff, who are on the autistic spectrum and those with Asperger's Syndrome, to develop a social network outside of school hours. The young people who attend feel empowered to share experiences, develop skills, socialise and have fun in a safe environment without the fear of how they may be perceived by others. The project works to keep the young people engaged and not become socially isolated. Every week, the group cook and eat a meal together, form friendships and relationships and develop transferable life skills. Healthy Image Volunteer and Peer Education Project The Healthy Image Volunteer and Peer Education Project in Conwy provides young people with a positive and enjoyable experience in sport and exercise and promotes healthy lifestyles. The project offers sessions across the county. Some young people have also become volunteers and peer educators on the project and many have undertaken training in youth work, sports leadership, sign language, first aid, child protection and coaching of various sports. The project inspires young people in Conwy to lead a healthier and physically active lifestyle. 1825 Project The 1825 project stops young people aged 18 to 25 from getting a criminal record and diverts them from the criminal justice system by means of a needs-led assessment and restorative justice intervention with victims of crimes. The project works with young people from the point of arrest to agree an intervention plan and identify a way to move forward, be it through attendance at a workshop or a session with a councillor. In 2015, the project diverted 142 young people in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan away from the criminal justice system.
