Well, the very first ever Crime and Safety conference for North West Leicestershire Youth Council is being held on Tuesday 17th March 2009 at Stephensons College in Coalville.

After months of hard work and planning, the day is nearly here. with plenty of things to enjoy, and lots of fun and exciting workshops,the conference should be enjoyable for all participants, and everyone should leave with lots of information about some crimes that effect North West Leicestershire. With a massive amount of people expected, a sum of approximately 150, it will not only be a lively event, but should be very interesting.
