Hull City charity nets national award

Hull City Football Club's official charity has won an award for its work in tackling antisocial behaviour (ASB) and strengthening local communities.

Tigers Trust's Community Engagement Team won Project of the Year at the 2026 Anti-Social Behaviour Awards, run by community safety organisation Resolve.

The award is for the charity's Targeted Youth Engagement Programme, which works with young people across Hull and the East Riding through outreach, mentoring and diversionary activities such as sport.

Resolve CEO Rebecca Bryant said the programme was an "outstanding example of what truly effective ASB prevention looks like".

The awards recognise "outstanding individuals, projects and organisations dedicated to making communities safer", according to Resolve's website.

"What also set this entry apart was the evidence of impact - significant reductions in youth-related crime in several hotspot areas, strong engagement levels, and powerful individual success stories all demonstrate the transformational effect of this programme," Bryant added.

The programme focuses on building trusted relationships with young people and addressing the underlying causes of ASB while creating positive pathways through sport, mentoring and community engagement, according to the Tigers Trust.

Kayleigh Jackson, head of community, engagement and safeguarding at the trust, said: "A huge congratulations to the team.

"Seeing this partnership recognised on a national level is a real testament to everyone's commitment, perseverance and belief in giving young people the chance to thrive."

The project was nominated for the award by the Humber Violence Prevention Partnership.

Chairman Jonathan Evison, who is also the Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside, said: "This award is thoroughly deserved.

"We are extremely fortunate to have Tigers Trust as a local partner, delivering excellent support for communities across the Humber."
