Anyone with information about the assault should contact Pc Bonnie Bore at Kirklees CID by calling 101 and quoting crime reference 13170218315.

Information can also be passed anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. WAYS to save youth work services across Kirklees will be explored at a special event this Saturday.

The event at the University of Huddersfield has been arranged in response to cuts in funding for youth work services that have resulted in council-run youth clubs closing across the district.

The programme includes presentations from three organisations that have successfully overcome the challenges facing youth services and will be made by Peter Norman from Doncaster Youth Alliance; Dean Grice from the Huddersfield Town Foundation and Serena Johnson from Conscious Youth, Huddersfield which supports young people aged 13 to 25 with their aspirations. These will be followed by workshops and discussions.

The event will start at 9.30am in the School of Education, Lockside Building, Firth Street, Huddersfield.
