  • East Durham Area Action Partnership Annual Report 2020-2021
    East Durham Area Action Partnership Better for everyone East Durham Area Action Partnership Annual Report 2020/21 Introduction The past twelve months have challenged us all in many ways. The Covid pandemic has changed how the council and Area Action Partnerships (AAPs) have had to work as many communities and local residents have struggled because of the restrictions that we have all had to follow. If there are positives we can take from this terrible situation it is that ‘community’ is alive and well in County Durham. Thousands of people have stepped forward and have taken action to ensure the most isolated and vulnerable have been looked after. The people of County Durham need to be applauded for their efforts. Many of those organisations that have been helping out have been supported by the AAPs who have provided funding to numerous groups enabling them to do their vital work. Some of this funding has come directly through the AAPs whilst other resources have been allocated from the County Councillors Neighbourhood Budgets. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the AAP teams for their help and support in ensuring that our Neighbourhood Budgets have been making a real difference in local communities. The next year will be no less challenging but I am delighted to say that the AAPs are being given extra resources to help communities recover from the pandemic. There is also new funding to support the County Council’s Towns and Villages Programme and the AAPs will be playing a key role in ensuring this funding helps to improve communities across County Durham.

    29th October - 16th November 2014 photo: Alastair Muir Billy Elliot The Musical Live! The East Durham Creates Festival was launched on 28 September 2014 with two very special screenings of Billy Elliot The Musical Live in Easington Social Welfare Centre. Coinciding with a national and international live broadcast of the West End Theatre production these were the only screenings that took place in a venue that is not a theatre or cinema. They were made possible through the generous support of Universal Pictures and Working Title Films, and tickets were subsidised through personal sponsorship from the creative team behind the film Billy Elliot. Billy’s journey takes him into a ballet class where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and whole community and changes his life forever. East Durham Creates aims to similarly instil and celebrate creative activity across the area. 2 A very warm welcome… to the first East Durham Creates Festival, a collection of over 40 performances, exhibitions and events to experience and enjoy this Autumn. The Festival brings unique outdoor performances and film screenings, community parades, theatre and a wide range of workshops, artist talks and much more to towns and villages across the area. There’s something to experience for all tastes and ages; from playing games in unexpected places, to guided walks with artists and experts exploring local heritage, myths and legends. You can borrow a piece of art to display in your own home or join us to commemorate significant moments in the area’s history. We’re thrilled to be welcoming highly regarded artists and performers from the UK and beyond to the area, and premiering two special new commissions by artist Dryden Goodwin and composer Ed Carter plus performances from innovative theatre company Uninvited Guests and astonishing Brooklyn-based musicians So Percussion.
