An initiative to help 14 to 25-year-olds get their lives on track has been set up by The Prince's Trust and the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Route 14-25 aims to support disadvantaged young people in Calderdale and Kirklees, after research revealed pockets of deprivation.

The project will help youngsters turn their lives around by giving them a package of support including education, training, business support and self-development to help them find employment.

Lee Barker, Yorkshire and Humber regional director of The Prince's Trust, said: "Route 14-25 offers fantastic opportunities for young people in Yorkshire. The pilot areas have been carefully selected to cover both inner city and town/rural environments. Hopefully young people will reap the benefits for many years to come."
