Supporting our local community centre

Regular visitors to the Blackhall Community Centre on Hesleden Road will have noticed that there has been considerable damage recently to the ceiling in the main hall. This was caused by rain gradually seeping through a hole in the roof. Although this has been a little unsightly it is commendable that centre staff have been able to maintain business as usual without any major disruption.

We met earlier this year with the centre manager to see if we would be able to help in any way to have the roof and ceiling fixed and we're delighted to have received confirmation this week that we've been able to secure over £4,500 to assist with roof repairs.

We are grateful to the East Durham AAP (Area Action Partnership) for their support in securing this funding which we hope will help our community centre to go from strength to strength without missing a stride.

Please note that this is just the latest in a long series of successful local funding projects we've been able to support over the years. In that time we have secured many thousands of pounds of investment in our communities and the many individual groups and organisations that help to keep them going. Please either contact us direct or go to the drop down list elsewhere on this site for further information on specific schemes and projects.
