Youngsters from across Staffordshire will stage a protest against cuts which could see 38 youth centres close.

The rally in Stafford's Market Square will take place on Saturday in opposition to Staffordshire County Council's proposed withdrawal of youth services as part of £100 million cuts.
It will be led by campaign group Youth Against Service Cuts.
Stafford Borough Councillor Rowan Draper is one of those campaigning to save the youth centres from the axe.
He said: "These cuts are a direct attack on our young people in Staffordshire and collectively, we must do all we can to oppose.
"These decisions haven't been thought through by Staffordshire County Council."
The protest will take place at 2pm.
