Aim To encourage young people to get involved in community projects
A group of young people in Salford were not only treated to tickets to watch Snoop Dogg in concert, they were also able to meet the US rap star when he visited their youth club earlier this month.
The rapper chatted to around 50 volunteers at the Ordsall Youth Centre, helped them repaint the interior and exterior of the building — including a mural on an outside wall — and joined them for a game of football with Manchester United and England footballer Rio Ferdinand.
The visit was to help promote Orange RockCorps, a scheme jointly run by production company RockCorps and mobile phone firm Orange, that encourages young people to volunteer four hours of their spare time to help their local community in return for concert tickets.
