"I think the bus is so popular because we treat the young people like equals and never judge them."

This was the view of youth worker Donna Chandler when asked why the North East Lincolnshire Council-run Youth Bus is so popular.

The mobile advice unit is keeping teenagers from across the area safe this summer, offering information on sexual health and contraception, things to do, help planning trips and days out and advice on a whole range of subjects.

A team of trained youth workers will be on hand at Grimsby's Riverhead between 12.30pm and 4pm every Wednesday to Saturday for the rest of August.

The holiday sessions have been added to bus's normal stops, which see it visit a different location across the region every night, from Kent Street skate park to the rear of Sainsbury's.
