Recently, I went along to see the fantastic team at the Sunniside Community Centre to present a cheque for £18,000 from Northern Powergrid as part of almost 100k for North West Durham in this round of funding alone. While the devastation of Storm Arwen, which is what this money is for, seems like such a long time ago it is still flowing through the community.
Having seen first-hand all the important work they do, I know that this money will go a long way. It is a huge step in the right direction for the people of Sunniside and look forward to the difference it will undoubtedly make.
Liz and everyone that volunteers here do such a fantastic job, it’s more than deserved. I really enjoyed chatting with everyone at the centre. I was so pleased to help with their application and delighted when it rightly succeeded.
The next round of funding applications opens soon. I want to see as much of the pledged £7.5 million from NPG to go to North West Durham as possible. Please get in touch if you want me team to help you with an application and we will do all we can to help make it happen.
We’re here to help.
