Brendon Crompton: Blue Light Ventures CEO on the Government's investment in reducing child and youth offending through sport and recreation

A youth programme leader is delighted to see the Government prioritise early intervention through sport.  

Sport and Police Minister Mark Mitchell has confirmed an $8 million cash injection for established initiatives supporting troubled young people.  

Blue Light Ventures Chief Executive Brendon Crompton told Heather du Plessis Allan every dollar put into their programmes returns more than seven to the community and taxpayer. 

He's thanking the Minister and NZ Sport for recognising that a kid in sport stays out of court.
