Peter Gowland, of Hartlepower, said: “We’re delighted to be taking part in The National Lottery Open Week this year.

“We’ve been fortunate to receive National Lottery funding, which has enabled us to establish a new Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) unit to support Hartlepool’s charities, community groups and social enterprises.
