CHILDREN’S art has gone on display in a city laundrette.

Young people from North Durham Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) created the artworks as part of a competition held earlier this year.

The resulting exhibition includes photographs, landscape drawings and graffiti art.

It has gone on public display in the Old Cinema Laundrette, on Marshall Terrace, Gilesgate, Durham City, and will remain so until Friday (November 2).

Twelve-year-old Aleysha(CORR) Hudson, from Durham, said she had enjoyed taking part and felt creating the artwork helped her to focus on something different.

Steph Hunter, the project co-ordinator at Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust, said: “It’s great to see the hard work of our young people come to fruition and on display in their local town and demonstrates that artwork really can help young people improve their mental wellbeing and increase their confidence.”
