a bumper package of activities has been put together for young people over the Easter holidays.
Consett YMCA has organised several day trips for more than 400 young people aged eight to 25. Activities will include climbing, canoeing, and river walks.
Archery and skateboarding facilities will be on offer in the centre's gym hall in Parliament Street from Monday, April 5.
The programme was organised by working with community partnerships, youth groups and schools.
Cash for the scheme came from the Children's Fund, which provided £5,000, and a £1,500 grant from Positive Activities for Young People.
