TWO fun days for families with young children have been organised in east Durham.
The events, in Horden and Easington Colliery, will involve face-painting, free rides on a fire engine, children's entertainers and a soft play area and have been organised by the area's local Sure Start scheme.
Sure Start has been working with families with babies and pre-school children, offering a range of services from parent craft sessions to feeding support groups.
It is still looking for more parents, particularly fathers, to attend their parent's meetings so they can help decide how services are provided.
The fun days are designed to mark the success of Sure Start so far and are taking place at Easington Primary School next Saturday, 11am to 1pm and Horden Welfare Hall on Saturday, June 28, from 1pm to 3pm.
Sure Start is based in Yoden Way, in Peterlee, and can be contacted on 0191-5874540.
