AN organisation set up to help out-of-school clubs in County Durham has celebrated an an anniversary.
Coxhoe-based Tarka was set up five years ago to offer support to the 100 after-school clubs set up in the county over the past ten years.
Staff from some of the clubs joined workers from Tarka on Friday to celebrate the anniversary.
Tarka's manager, Carol Chambers, said: "We know that the clubs have created well over 1,000 jobs directly in the sector, but just as importantly they have allowed hundreds of parents to return to work or education."
