A SPECIAL support group for families with twins has been set up by a north Durham children's centre.

The Double Trouble Twins Group meets every Tuesday afternoon at Moorside Sure Start Children's Centre, near Consett.

The group was set up to give parents who have had twins, or other multiple births, the chance to meet up and share their experiences and tips for coping with more than one baby.

It is also a chance for the children to meet each other and play together.

Mums, dads, grandparents, carers and friends are all welcome to go along.

The group meets at Moorside Sure Start Children's Centre, Chester Road, Moorside, Consett, between 1pm and 3pm.
