A youth charity is looking for recruits to join its Dereham programme.

The Prince's Trust is appealing for people between the ages of 16 and 25 to take part in its latest Team programme, which starts on January 30.

Programmes are also being launched in Norwich and King's Lynn.

The 12-week initiative is being run from the Norwich Road fire station by the youth development department of Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service.

Throughout the programme, participants will be provided with a free residential stay, and work experience, while planning and delivering a community project.

Members will learn a host of practical and work-based skills to help them get into employment or find training opportunities. And volunteers will also be awarded a Prince's Trust qualification and a First Aid at work qualification upon completion of the course.

Anyone aged between 16 and 25 who is not in work, education or training is eligible to sign up. A taster day is set to take place on Tuesday, January 24.
