THE first Christmas Giveaway at a Newton Aycliffe church was an opportunity to reward more than 60 young people.
Young people aged between seven and 11-years-old received gifts at the Christian Life Centre's Planet Kids initiative for their outstanding achievements this year.
Eight of them received new bicycles.
Anthony Dent, pastor at the centre, said: "It was an emotional morning, but it was also a wonderful opportunity to say that we love them, think they are fantastic and have a great Christmas."
Mr Dent and his team thanked everyone who had sent their children to Fusion events and helped it grow to well over 100 youngsters
