Schools, police and businesses in Tameside have been working together to help keep local children on the straight and narrow.
The Safer Schools Partnership is a new project by Greater Manchester Police's Tameside team that sees officers go into schools and speak to students about things such as anti-social behaviour, crime and personal safety and encourage them to focus on their studies.
One of the schools they have been working with is White Bridge College in Dukinfield, which is part of the Tameside Pupil Referral Service.
The students who attend are not in mainstream education for a variety of reasons.
Some of them study mechanic-based courses, and the college was in need of a car for them to work on, thus improving life skills.
The Safer Schools Partnership's north team - which covers Stalybridge, Dukinfield, Mossley and Ashton-under-Lyne - got in touch with Auto Salvage Stalybridge to see if they could help out by donating a vehicle, which was delivered this week.
PC Greg Howard said: "It's great that Auto Salvage Stalybridge, a local, family-ran business, can help out at a local school. It is something that is so valuable to the students' development and learning."
