Knaresborough community organisation launches youth bus
A community organisation based in Knaresborough has launched a community bus to provide a safe mode of transport that keeps young people educated and engaged.
Knaresborough Revolution’s SPACE Community Youth Bus offers study areas, games consoles, a music system and arts and crafts materials to be enjoyed while riding.
It is fitted with high-speed Wi-Fi for passengers to access educational resources and engage with the wider community.
Trained youth workers will also be on hand to provide guidance and mentorship to the young people.
The bus, which has been funded by sponsors and community partners, will travel to local parks, neighbourhoods and community centres throughout Knaresborough and hopes to "remove barriers to participating and foster a sense of belonging".
