Search the Public Notice PortalA group of young people in Dagenham have gained hands-on construction experience by participating in a youth centre refurbishment.
The project was made possible by a £30,000 investment from housebuilder The Hill Group and housing association Peabody.
The centre, Future Youth Zone, has welcomed more than 17,000 young people since opening six years ago.
The project was part of Barking and Dagenham Council's Skills Builder Programme.
The programme aims to provide construction industry experience to 16 to 18-year-olds.
Over two weeks, the students worked alongside professionals from Hill, refreshing parts of the youth centre.
Future Youth Zone, open all year round, offers a safe space for young people aged eight to 19, and up to 25 for those with disabilities or learning difficulties.

The youth club aims to provide "somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk to".
Gershom Clarke, chief executive of Future Youth Zone, said: "We are hugely grateful to The Hill Group, Peabody, their contractors, and the young people on the Skills Builder programme for their hard work at Future Youth Zone.
"We believe young people deserve the very best, so to have a team of skilled professionals dedicate their time and expertise to refreshing the Youth Zone has been incredible."
