"Violence impacting young people, particularly knife crime, continues to devastate lives, cut futures short, and leave families in grief."He praised the efforts of those in the city who were working to tackle issues such as "food poverty, racism and educational inequality".Looking relaxed and wearing jeans, Harry met youth workers and local groups at the recording studio and heard about their efforts to tackle violence in Nottingham, in a scheme supported by BBC Children in Need."You gave me goosebumps," he said after listening to a rapper called Paige."I was proper nervous," Paige told Prince Harry about her first visit to the recording studio. "I'd never seen a booth or a mic or anything. So I'm listening to all these rappers on YouTube - and I'm like, 'How do they even make that?'"A young comedian, Ki'miya, teased Prince Harry about different backgrounds growing up by saying: "I bet you never had to stand on a chair to get a Hobnob."As well as showing a few dance moves when he arrived, and turning down the chance to sing backing vocals, Prince Harry joined conversations about creating more positive opportunities for young people.BBC Children in Need is now one of the country's biggest funders of independent youth workers.Tony Okotie, the charity's director of impact, said the donation would help "create spaces where young people feel safe, heard, and empowered to build brighter futures".Harry praises children's resilience as he returns to UKHarry set for UK visit but will he see his father?Why did Harry and Meghan leave the Royal family?There have been previous significant donations by the prince.
