A DISABLED charity has set up a mentoring service for young people.

The Maze Project, set up by cerebral palsy charity Scope, helps disabled people in Stockton gain independence.

The project wants to hear from people aged 14 and over who may need help, as well as volunteer mentors.

Carol Watson, of Scope's Stockton branch, said: "We came up with the idea for a mentoring group for people who want to move on in their lives.

"For instance, people who want to move up the career ladder, or who may be leaving college or home for the first time.

"We currently have three or four potential mentors and are looking for people to use the service."
