THEATRE company Jack Drum Arts is looking for volunteers.

Co-director Julie Ward said: "We are becoming a victim of our own success and need help at all levels.

"We are having a friends meeting tomorrow, to try to galvanise support.

"People who volunteer will get lots of enjoyment out of it and will have a chance to do some really creative work.

"A fortnight ago, 17-year-old Graham Maughan, an art and design student from Bishop Auckland College, spent a week with us, and become involved in office work, while also helping with the lighting and technical side on a youth theatre production."

The friends' meeting takes place at Willington Community College tomorrow, at 7pm.
