A KIDS club has received £1,324 to take youngsters on trips during the school holidays.
The East Cleveland Holiday and Out of School Club (Echo Web) has received the cash from the Local Network Fund for Children and Young People. Echo Web takes children aged three to 14 from the east Cleveland area, which has wards among the top 20 most deprived in the country.
Many of the children the organisation helps have special needs.
Barbara Baker, Echo Web co-ordinator, said: "The money has paid for entrance fees and transport costs and has enabled us to take the kids to places they wouldn't normally get to see.
"I wanted to make sure that they returned to school in September full of stories about their summer activities.
"We have already taken them to a Second World War PoW Camp at Marton, in North Yorkshire, which is now a museum, and are planning trips to the Sea Life Centre, Hartlepool Historic Quay and Diggerland in Langley Park."
