    A Harrogate bereavement and emotional wellbeing charity has been awarded a grant boost of more than £30,000.

    Just 'B' will use the money to provide workshops and therapy sessions for vulnerable students during the school holidays. Themes covered will include gangs and youth violence, domestic abuse, and digital media risks.

    The grant is part of £6.5m from the Youth Endowment Covid-19 Fund and has been offered to 130 organisations across the country. It aims to limit the number of people being drawn into violent crime as well as tackling issues young people have experienced as a result of covid.

    Tony Collins, chief executive of Just 'B' said:

    "The challenges and hardships that some of our most vulnerable young people face have been exacerbated by covid... we are proud to be one of the organisations chosen for this grant and it will enable us to build on the work we are already doing to help children and young people to overcome difficult circumstances and face a more positive future."


    Just 'B' is also calling for the community's help to win £1m in a charity competition. Persimmon Homes Yorkshire has shortlisted three charities across the county to represent the region in its Building Futures scheme. Voting closes on September 18.
