AN award has helped four teenagers realise a dream.
The youngsters, from Middlesbrough, have used a 4front Award from the Camelot Foundation to set up successful music nights at the St Cuthbert's Youth Centre.
Darrell Sedgewick and Lee Edmonds, both 15, and Tom Moore and Nathan Graham, both 13, received £3,000 to improve the centre's DJ booth.
Antony High, of the local Neighbourhood Trust and a support worker at St Cuthbert's, said: "The music nights are held on Tuesdays and Fridays and on each occasion we are attracting up to 80 kids at each session.
"Our aim was always to allow Darrell, Lee, Tom and Nathan the freedom to develop the music and the initiative the way they wanted.
"As a result, we have established an event which local young people are keen to attend."
