The charity Big World Impact recently merged with ACN and aims to improve the prospects of young people living on the estate.

Charlotte Bishop, programme manager for ACN, said: ‘We are able to bring the highly recommended Chelsea’s Choice play to Leigh Park and offer a performance to agencies and organisations free of charge for those that work with young people in the Leigh Park, Havant and Hayling Island area.

‘This is thanks to funding from Office of Police Crime Commissioner and Artswork.

‘The play is a powerful and impactive production highlighting the serious issue of child sexual exploitation.’
