CHESTER-LE-STREET'S Riverside stadium is to help unemployed young people get a footing in the workplace.
Durham County Cricket Club is supporting The Prince's Trust's Volunteer Programme by offering those on the programme in the Durham area the use of certain facilities and services for free.
As part of their personal development, young people have to set themselves challenges by working in the community and raising money for charity.
One of the first events they will be staging at the cricket club will be a charity auction on Thursday.
The chief executive of Durham County Cricket Club, David Harker, said: "Durham County Cricket Club is delighted to be involved with The Prince's Trust, and especially for the Volunteers Programme.
"The programme provides practical help and advice for youngsters who want to make it in the workplace and, as an organisation, we have been happy to offer our services."
