Barbershop have teamed up with the Master Class Centre to provide a bespoke mentoring programme for young people in deprived areas. 

The 12 week programme addresses academic attainment, behaviour and community participation by exposing young students to responsibility, providing role models and to emulate and by facilitating positive interactions between teenagers and adults.

We've been doing some pioneering work with a local group of Travellers to improve their health and the quality of the services they receive

When Tyrone King asked local R&B songwriter Mench to write a song about mental health, he had no idea that such an excellent track would emerge.

We’ve obtained funding to do some community based research into the issues that young black and south Asian men face when suffering mental health problems.

The first day in July started where June left off - raining.  But that didn't dampen the spirits at this year's Preston Mela

Its now 10 years since the Mela first took place, and we were sheltering from the storm at our stall in the marquee. Although we did manage to sneak out and get some photos.

This year's Caribbean Carnival came to Preston in May, with all its colour, tradition and vibrancy. 

The celebration of culture is a central theme in ensuring race equality and Tyrone King was there, with his camera.
