RADIO One presenter Colin Murray is to launch a new advice service for young people in Swindon and Wiltshire.

Connexions Wiltshire and Swindon is officially launched on Wednesday.

It offers personal development services for people aged 13-19, covering subjects ranging from including careers, education, pregnancy and homelessness.

The organisation's advisers are based in schools, colleges, youth centres and sometimes high street drop-in centres.

Wednesday's launch, at Wiltshire College, Lackham, will feature various exhibitions and displays and a performance by the young people of the local Impact Theatre Group as well as the appearance by Mr Murray.

The Connexions Wiltshire and Swindon organisation began operating in September of last year.

Connexions centres have since been established across the county.

Swindon Council and the county council are among the local backers.
