YOUNGSTERS across Sedgefield will find it easier to access sport and leisure activities thanks to a new directory.

Sedgefield Borough Council's Sports Club Directory was launched at Spennymoor Leisure Centre this week by the council's leisure and culture cabinet member, Barbara Graham.

The directory lists activities across the borough and is free to any organisation that wishes to join the list.

Councillor Graham was joined at the launch by the Girls on a Mission, a weekly club offering girls aged 11 to 16 sport and activities.

Coun Graham said: "The directory is excellent. It makes people aware of what is available. It is also a fantastic way for the council to work in partnership with sports clubs to help them promote their activities."

The Girls on a Mission club meets at Spennymoor Leisure Centre, on Mondays, from 4.30pm to 5.30pm.

The directory is available via the council's website, www.sedgefield.gov.uk/champions.
