TWO travellers are helping people by becoming youth workers.

Stevie Chambers, 20, of Star Lane, St Mary Cray, and Mark Else, 19, of Otlinge Close, St Mary Cray, run sessions at Castlecombe youth centre, Castlecombe Road, Mottingham, and the Link youth centre, Midfield Way, St Paul's Cray.

They got the jobs after impressing staff at the Link when attending the centre last year.

Mr Else said: "I enjoy being able to help people."

Youth services area manager Kathy Wickes said: "Young people from the Crays have followed Mark and Stevie into an area they wouldn't normally go into which is brilliant.

"It's so heartening when young people do something positive with their lives."
