YOUNG people from Stevenage are making their small screen debuts in a new project.

Youngsters who go to the Hyde Out in Shephall, Stevenage, which is run by the MBA Association, were asked to take part in Senseless.

The project is the brainchild of writer Mark Straker and tackles the controversial subjects of knife crime and anti-social behaviour among teenagers.

Over the coming weeks young people will be given the opportunity to make a documentary on these issues.

A CD will be produced to accompany the documentary.

Mark said: "The MBA are currently carrying out fantastic work with large numbers of young people in Stevenage so it made perfect sense to work in partnership with them on this project."

Ashley Goldson, chief executive of MBA said: "This is yet another opportunity for young people with immense talent to showcase their skills and turn all the negative labels placed on them into positive ones."

The project is funded by Connecting Communities, Hertfordshire Police Authority, Community Champions and the Co-Op.
