The Duke of Sussex announced the donation on a visit to Community Recording Studios (CRS) in St Ann’s yesterday.

He met Trevor Rose from CRS and Pete Bewley from Epic Partners to discuss their work with young people.

In a speech, the Duke said: “The incredible work being done by grassroots organisations like CRS and Epic Partners is not only inspiring - it's essential.

“We're grateful for the support of BBC Children In Need in helping changemakers in the city continue their mission to create safe spaces, build trust and offer hope and belonging to young people who need it most.

“For almost 15 years, I've been working alongside communities to tackle violence against young people, particularly knife crime, which remains one of the most urgent issues facing this country.
