As many of you will be aware earlier in the year some of our young people attended three workshops with a local artist to make a silk banner for the ‘One Day Cricket International’ at Chester-Le-Street in June. Our ‘Pakistan’ theme definitely had us all challenged and required a good sense of humour along the way!

On the 15th of June the ‘Banner Presentation Ceremony’ was held at
Chester-le-Street Riverside. ME North East and two of our young members were extremely proud to collect our Young People’s Certificates highlighting their commitment and contribution to making the banner. We all concluded that out of the total 16 banners made by other local charities and schools ours was by far the most creative and colourful!

The banner is currently hung at Chester le Street Riverside Pavilion for the general public to see and will eventually be returned to our ME North East Office, please pop in to have a look.

Well done to everyone that took part, it was a great success!
