MEMBERS of a youth club in north Durham are jumping for joy after being awarded cash to buy trampoline mats.

The Rotary Club of Stanley has donated £1,180 to Oxhill Youth Club, near Stanley.

The money will be used safety mats for the gym.

Youth leader Gail Wilson said: “They are very important for health and safety reasons. We cannot let the kids on without them. It would be too dangerous.

“We have had the trampoline for a year but not been able to use and the kids have been desperate to get on but we have not been able to afford them so we are very grateful to the Rotary Club.”
