Ferryhill Ladder Centre was delighted recently to receive a funding grant from the Children in Need Charity.

The money will help pay for staff salaries which will help support the groups youth sessions for the next two years. A spokesperson said, “This is great news as the service we provide was under threat, due to lack of funding. The centre would like to thank everyone who supported their bid”.

The centre offers a wide range of services to the local community, including adult learning courses, Job Club and help with CV’s. There are many children and youth activities on offer and there is even help with home work.
