A TEAM of volunteers who built a motorcycle track for youngsters has won an award.

The York and North Yorkshire Guidance Services' Volunteers Team 11 was presented with the Prince's Trust Volunteer Award in recognition of an "outstanding" community project at Clifton Moor Gate.

They moved 3,000 tonnes of earth, creating a sound barrier and two large jumps. The team raised more than £28,500 for materials.

They will be entered for a national award next month. The team was approached by York Youth Services, which offered them the chance to become involved with the Sleeper Path Project.

Managing director of Guidance Services Jayne Rawlins said: "We are very proud of the achievements of our team of volunteers. We are delighted they have won this award, and look forward to the national awards ceremony in December."
