SOCIAL work students from the University of Sunderland are to hold an exhibition to show how to limit the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

The students, who are studying for a diploma in Drug and Alcohol studies, set up the exhibition after receiving a £10,000 Millennium Award.

Their exhibits will be on show at the university's Vardy Gallery from today.

The Millennium Awards are funded by the Millennium Commission using proceeds from the National Lottery.

They allow people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to apply for small grants which they can use to help put their community projects into action.
