Project: Youth clubs on wheels
Funding pounds: 452,000 through the government's Youth Capital Fund Plus
Aim: To give young people safe and fun places to socialise with friends and get advice

The larger bus also contains a quiet area where young people can do their homework and a small kitchen offering healthy food and snacks.
