Derry YouTube star Adam B has launched a mission to help someone get onto the property ladder.
The former Blue Peter presenter (23) has pledged to provide housing for an individual for an entire year, offering them the opportunity to kickstart their path on the property ladder.
He said it is his way of giving back to his community and making a lasting impact.
Adam B, real name Adam Beales, who is renowned for his entertaining content on YouTube, said he aimed to use his platform to "make a real difference in someone's life".
By providing free accommodation for 12 months, he said he hopes to alleviate the burden of rental costs, allowing a deserving individual to save towards a deposit on their future home.
"Owning property can come with a range of challenges, and I've seen firsthand how these difficulties can impact individuals and families," he said.
"That's why, alongside my mission to help someone onto the property ladder, I believe it's important to share my passion for property and offer assistance to those who may have inherited properties or find themselves in unfavourable equity situations.

"By assisting them in securing a place to live, free of charge, for an entire year, I hope to empower them to save towards their own home and fulfil their dreams of homeownership."
The YouTuber said he also plans to document the entire process on his Instagram property page: "I love sharing valuable insights, tips, and inspiring stories".
The search for the lucky recipient has already begun with the chosen individual announced in the coming weeks.
