A YOUNG harpist is to get the musical instrument of her dreams thanks to the Cleveland Community Foundation.
Sarah Paterson, 11, from Saltburn, has recently been accepted by the National Children's Orchestra.
She needed a full size harp in order to pursue her ambition of attending the Royal School of Music, and a grant from the foundation made that possible.
She was presented with her award by Kevin Ryan, director of the foundation, and Hartlepool MP Peter Mandelson.
The foundation uses interest on money invested by Teesside businesses.
