A group with the welfare of young people at heart is looking for volunteers to support youngsters who get into trouble with the law.

Youth Offending Teams set up under the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act are looking for people aged 21 or over to join their volunteer mentoring scheme.

The YOTs, which bring together representatives of a range of agencies, want helpers who will offer advice and encouragement to youngsters wanting to develop new interests and new ideas.
