YOUNGSTERS with asthma are being offered the chance to learn more about their condition.

A course will be held for four to 16-year-olds living in Chester-le-Street, Durham and Derwentside.

Called Bronchial Boogie, the course will be held in the Durham County Council -run Bullion Lane Children’s Centre, Gray Avenue , Chester-le-Street, from Monday April 22 and run until Monday July 15 (excluding bank holidays) between 4pm and 5.30pm.

It aims to help children and young people recognise and manage the symptoms of asthma through music, fun and games. Participants will also be able to learn to play a brass instrument.
