TEENAGERS will be given the chance to find opportunities at a networking forum.

First Stop in Darlington will be hosting the event at the Forum Music Centre next Monday, from 7pm to 9.30pm.

Other organisations at the event will include youth services, Connexions, the Citizen's Advice Bureau and substance misuse groups.

The groups with stands will send out about 70 invitations to youngsters aged between 13 and 18.

Two bands and a breakdancer will also perform.

Ashley Kay, a youth project worker at First Stop, said: "It is a chance for young people in the area to access different organisations and to spend a few hours in a room to find out about the services available to them."
