SIX weeks of healthy fun activities are planned for north Durham youngsters this summer.

Derwentside Leisure has unveiled its Six Weeks Off programme, sponsored by Stanley Taxis, to keep children entertained over the school break.

It includes regulars such as the Lark in the Park events, held at play areas across the district, plus family bike rides and bus trips to North-East attractions.

Consett YMCA will repeat its Survival series of outings for ten to 16-year-olds. It will include kayaking and canoeing.

A brochure will be sent out every pupil in schools across the district in July. For more details, call the Leisure Hotline on (01207) 218899.
