A CLUB has opened to turn young people in County Durham into the stars of tomorrow.
Chester-le-Street Youth Centre has gained official Make Space status as part of a campaign to create a nationwide network of contemporary after-school clubs.
Youngsters can make their own records, learn sports and dance moves and take part in courses such as creative writing.
Baroness Thornton, chair of the Make Space Development Fund, said: "I'm delighted to congratulate Chester-le-Street Youth Centre on achieving Make Space status.
"It is always very encouraging to see a community committed to investing in local youth and this status means that there will now be even more opportunities for these young people."
The aim of the Make Space clubs is to provide young people with a stimulating and sociable place to meet.
