Exercise after Stroke sessions are taking place at Eastbourne Sports Complex on Wednesday and Friday afternoons.

The hourly sessions, run by Darlington Council’s Sports Development Team, cost £2 and run from 2pm to 3pm and 3pm to 4pm.

An additional one-hour session is also run at the Dolphin Centre on a Monday between 1pm and 2pm.

Access to the programme can be made by referral from a medical professional.

BAG PACK: Children and staff from Corporation Road Primary School have raised hundreds for the Darlington Women’s Refuge and their own visit to the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

They carried out a bag pack at Victoria Road Sainsbury’s and raised £374 for each venture.

Marie Steward, charity organiser at Sainsbury’s, said the company was a keen supporter of the school’s sports programme and she thanked staff and pupils for also raising money for the store’s chosen charity.
