PitStop in Halifax, West Yorkshire, is a charity that works with the most disadvantaged young people in the area through alternative education programmes.

Another successful pilot has been completed in the North West in partnership with the Canal Boat Adventure Project in Halton, which was designed to complement a local school's curriculum.
