YOUNGSTERS in York were encouraged to spray graffiti at a York community centre - without getting arrested. The children brightened up Chapelfields community centre with colourful spray paints as part of a new project.

Pictured taking part in the project are, from left, youth leaders Terry Kiernan and Netta Hughes, Shane Young, James Woodall and Leigh Rientoul, all 14 and artist Rick Shipley Picture: Paul Baker
