YOUNGSTERS who took part in an activity programme were treated to a boat trip to mark its close.

Participants in Splash, a five-week programme based at West Redcar Youth Club, set sail for their final event aboard the Teesside Princess last Friday.

The afternoon trip marked the end of another successful year for the scheme, run by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's Youth Service and the South Tees Youth Offending Team.

Between 30 and 40 young people, aged from 13 to 17 and mostly from Dormanstown and Kirkleatham, attended the daily sessions, taking part in arts and crafts, environmental studies and day trips
