45 young people from schools across North Tyneside have been taking part in the National Citizen Service scheme this Summer.

Tynemouth MP went along  to meet them as they presented their plans for community projects they’ll carry out in the local area in a ‘Dragon’s Den’ type event.

Alan said “I enjoyed being a ‘Dragon’ for three teams of local young people completing their National Citizen Service.  There were brilliant ideas and projects which will benefit Contact the Elderly, Teenager Cancer UK and PDSA.”
