The council, in partnership with Humberside Police, was able to provide a range of activities for young people aged 11 and over in receipt of benefit-related free school meals this summer. Outreach workers led a range of activities, from DJ workshop, multisport with Hull FC and street art workshops, to dance workshops. Much of this wouldn't have been possible without the Our Place mobile youth provision bus.

A survey about vaping use, carried out among 12 to 18-year-olds across the East Riding, has found that one in three young people had tried a vaporiser, and one in ten vape on a regular basis.
The council is now focused on action aimed at discouraging young people from beginning to vape. To date, 3,000 illegal vapes have been seized by Trading Standards in Goole, Bridlington, Beverley, and Withernsea.
