Tech firm Nebula Labs has built a new digital tool it says will support vulnerable young people in care.
The Newcastle firm has worked with South Tyneside Council to deliver the 'Virtual Memory Box' - a system in which young people can store and access memories that could otherwise be lost or forgotten. Its creation follows research by the council which found challenges faced by those in care.
The authority found that many young people find themselves in multiple placements over a number of years and therefore possessions can be misplaced or damaged in moves. It can result in distress for vulnerable young people.
