A CHARITY was given a new minibus yesterday.

The Alzheimer's Society, Teesside branch was handed the keys to the vehicle by Dari Taylor, MP for Stockton South, in Albert Park, Middlesbrough.

The minibus replaces an 11-year-old vehicle and will be used by the Young People with Dementia Day Club.

It will benefit people in Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Redcar and Stockton who suffer from dementia and Huntington's disease.
