A COURSE run by the Prince's Trust in Darlington, aimed at helping young people to develop skills to help them find work, has been cancelled.
The Team 12-week course was to start on Monday at Cockerton Methodist Church, but has been cancelled due to a lack of interest.
A spokeswoman for The Prince's Trust said: "Despite a wide marketing campaign in the community, unfortunately the September course in Darlington did not attract sufficient numbers to enable the young people to achieve the goals and outcomes which we would hope for through their participation.
"Alternative course venues in Middlesbrough, Stockton and Bishop Auckland have been offered to disappointed clients together with associated travel expenses."
The courses help 16 to 25-year-olds to develop confidence and motivation and skills through teamwork.
The spokeswoman said the success of the Team programme was based on there being an adequate number of people participating.
The organisation is to review the situation in Darlington. For course details call 0800 842842.
