What is preventing young people from doing the things they would like to do?

The results below relate to the Wakefield District as a whole. It is notable that almost half of young people said the main reason they didn’t do what they wanted to do was because they didn’t know what was available. This demonstrates the importance of the PPA project in informing young people of what is on offer to them.

48.2%               Don’t know what is available

15.8%               Facilities not available nearby
(NB: this reason could also be linked to transport)

13.3%               Can’t afford it

9.4%                Transport difficulties
(NB: this reason could also be linked to a lack of nearby facilities)

5.8%                Other reason given

4.3%                Parents won’t allow it

3.2%                Safety concerns
