INMATES at Holme House prison in Stockton showed off new skills at a meeting involving potential employers, job agency staff and officials from the prison.

All are involved in an NVQ Sport and Recreation and Learning Through Sport Course.

The prisoners gave a number of demonstrations to show what they had learnt from the course, and how it could benefit them in the world of work.

A cheque was presented to the British Heart Foundation to mark a fundraising effort by the prisoners who took part in a rowing competition over the Easter weekend.
