MOTHERS and fathers who are struggling to balance their working lives and parenting responsibilities have been offered help.
Three after-school clubs have been set up for parents in Gateshead.
High Hopes Out-of-School Club, Washingwell Out-of-School Club and Whickham Out-of-School Club are providing facilities for more than 100 children.
They provide a service that enables people to work full-time, knowing their children will be looked after until 6pm.
The clubs were set up with support from Gateshead Council. For more information, contact the council's economic development service on 0191-433 2035.
