YOUNGSTERS cooked up a tasty total for BBC Children in Need.
The teenagers, aged 15 to 17, were taking part in Stockton Borough Council's Entry to Employment Scheme, when they raised £144.60.
The lunch, held in Thornaby, near Stockton, included chilli con carne, jacket potatoes and Victoria sponge cake.
The meal was dished up for Stockton council's youth service staff at The Space - a youth centre for youngsters aged 13.
Gillian Cowburn, life skills officer for the council, said: "The food cooked by the youngsters was absolutely delicious and the amount they raised is fantastic news."
