A GROUP of youngsters are beaming out details of their village to the rest of the world, after creating a website.
Members of Craghead Youth Club decided they wanted to create an Internet site depicting the people and landscape of the village near Chester-le-Street and events going on in the area.
With help from environmental youth worker Peter Butler, of Groundwork West Durham, the group applied for cash from a number of funding bodies.
They received a £15,000 grant from the Prince's Trust, £1,900 from Northern Arts and £500 from Derwentside District Council.
The money has been used to buy computers, software, digital cameras and scanning equipment, enabling the youngsters to design and create the community website.
The project will be launched at Craghead Village Hall on Thursday, December 12, at 6.30pm.
