Performance put focus on disability benefits

Moveable Feast Arts, which includes people with learning difficulties, performed at the town's Arts Centre - shortly before jetting off to France to stage a show there.

The company is renowned for its productions that focus on thought-provoking issues that affect society.

The event was part of Direct Payments in Darlington Day, a scheme organised by Darlington Association on Disability.

The charity was aiming to highlight the importance of the payments, which come from social services to help disabled people have a more independent lifestyle.
