Believe, achieve and succeed
Our second "Children and Young People’s Plan" covers the period 2009 to 2012. Since the publication of our last plan in 2006, much work has been done by the Children’s Trust on those things which matter most to children, young people and families. This has resulted in some significant improvements and achievements across County Durham. Our promise to all children and young people in County Durham
