A FUN day to promote a group set up to improve the quality of life for young families in north-west Durham takes place next weekend.

Sure Start West Derwentside has invited parents and children from Annfield Plain, Delves Lane, Leadgate, Crookhall, Dipton, The Grove and Moorside to a fun day in The Grove Primary School, Consett.

There will be activities for both parents and younger children.

Sure Start, in Catchgate Primary School, works with parents-to-be and children who have not reached their fifth birthdays, with the aim to improve the health and well-being of parents and children and prepare youngsters to flourish at school.

The fun day takes place next Saturday, from 11am to 3pm
