MORE than 700 people turned out for a North-East charity's summer fete at the weekend.
The fete, held at Clow Beck Eco Centre, Croft-on-Tees, on Saturday (June 1), gave the public an insight into the work of the Clearvaux Trust.
It is thought to have raised more than £1,500. Attractions on the day at included horse logging and a car run on coffee beans.
Clervaux Trust works with disadvantaged young people by training them in farming techniques.
Rick McCordall, director of the Clervaux Trust’s bakery in Darlington, said: “Every year, our summer fete is always a popular event.
“There was a relaxed and calm atmosphere and it gave people an opportunity to see what Clervaux Trust does.”
Day provision manager at the Trust, Mark Snowball, added: “I would like to thank all the volunteers that chipped in and everyone who turned up for supporting the event.”
