Through an award-winning National Citizen Service programme run by JLGB, 70 teenagers from different faiths have spent three weeks devising and delivering social action projects.

Following team bonding through adventure activities and social cohesion seminars, participants were placed in groups reflecting skill sets.

They then visited charity and business venues ranging from Twitter to Borough Market to get project ideas, and pitched to a Dragon's Den-style panel for funding of up to £1,000.

A team took to the streets to raise money in support of the food redistribution charity, FareShare, and WaterAid. The team also volunteered at a soup kitchen.
