The activity marks Life Routes going into its second phase of funding and builds on the considerable success that it has had so far. The programme aims to work with 360 professionals over the next three years to extend the reach to at least 4,000 more young people.
Simon Ainslie, managing director of Nokia UK, said: "Creative workshops such as this are a good example of how Nokia UK's Life Routes programme reaches out to some of the most vulnerable young people. By helping them to realise their potential, we hope the programme will help them lead healthy, and successful lives, contributing positively to their communities and encouraging them to have strong relationships with their family and peers."
Life Routes engages with people aged between 11 and 19 from areas identified by the government as needing specific development. It is formed of a network of local programmes managed by NCB, funded by Nokia.
The programmes are delivered by professionals who work with vulnerable young people.
