Barbadians are being encouraged to support Government’s recently introduced National Peace Programme (NPP) and join the effort to assist in developing the youth.

Minister of State in the Office of the Attorney General with responsibility for Crime Prevention, Corey Lane, is urging members of the public to share their time, talents and treasure with young members of the community.

He wants mentors, community actors, practitioners and influencers, community, youth or school groups, faith-based, social, sports and service organisations, as well as individuals and businesses who wish to make a positive difference to the society, to reach out.

The National Peace Programme is implemented by the Government, in collaboration with civil society organisations, and other stakeholders.

The immediate action plan of the NPP was rolled out last November 6, and the overall programme is still in development.
