ROAD TO SUCCESS: Thomas Ward is all smiles after completing his training
A GROUP of young people are on the road to a brighter future thanks to a driver-training project in upper Teesdale.
It was co-ordinated by Utass (Upper Teesdale Agricultural Support Services) and with funding from the Wellesley Trust via the Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland.
The project was launched after a number of young people applied for support with various driving skills, including car lessons, trailer lessons, pre-tractor test training, British Offroad Driving Association quad bike training or Lantra 13-15 tractor driving.
In all, a grant of £6,840 from the Wellesley Trust Fund covered the costs of training for 26 young people.
