FUN WITH FOOD: Jen Smurthwaite weighs out ingredients while Gina Richardson shows off the recipe cards for the Utass Cook Your Own Teas scheme
ONLINE science fairs, activity packs delivered to doors and the Cook Your Own Tea project are just some of the activities that have already delivered during the pandemic thanks to funding from TAP.
In normal times, the youth team from Utass (Upper Teesdale Agricultural Support Services) provides a wide range of activities, both at the Chapel Row base and off site.
Bob Danby, project manager at Utass, said: “We used to run three sessions of youth work a week and we’d arrange trips to take the kids away to things they wanted to see such as paint balling, go-karting trips and cinema visits. We’d even arranged trips to the Metro Centre for some shopping.
