THE Prince's Trust is calling for young entrepreneurs in County Durham to step forward with their business ideas.
The organisation's business support programme is helping people aged 18 to 30 by offering low-interest loans and grants to would-be traders who have no other means of raising the capital.
Additional support is also being offered through a volunteer business mentor, who provides advice for the first three years of trading.
Anyone interested in starting a business, or wanting to offer their skills as a business mentor, can contact Brenda Lodge-Metcalf, at the trust, on (01388) 775544.
