Reduction or loss of leaders Like all other voluntary organisations, the Scout Group is totally reliant on having sufficient trained adult volunteers to run and administer its activities.

  • Accessions July – Dec. 2010
    Northumberland Archives Accessions July – Dec. 2010 Each year we receive several hundred new accessions (deposits of records or artefacts). These can range in size from a single item, for example, a photograph, through to several hundred boxes of records. As we accept records into our custody we create an accession record. The information that we record includes a brief description of the item, covering dates, details of the provenance of the item and the status of the deposit, in other words, whether it is a purchase, deposit (long term loan) or a gift. The vast majority of records are deposited with us and remain the property of the depositor and their heirs. We regularly produce a list of the accessions received over a six month period. This is generated from our electronic collections management system and provides brief details of the deposit. If you would like further information about the deposit you should consult our electronic catalogue or speak with a member of staff who will be pleased to advise. The purpose of the list is to allow users to become more aware of new deposits of material. Not all of the items that are referred to on the list will be available for public consultation.

  • 1 Case Study: Scata Clt, Stocksfield
    CASE STUDY: SCATA CLT, STOCKSFIELD NORTHUMBERLAND SCATA Community Land Trust is based in Stocksfield, a commuter village in the Tyne Valley, 13 miles west of Newcastle. It has built 7 new affordable rented homes in partnership with a major North East housing association. Stocksfield is a relatively high value area. Land prices and house prices are higher than many of the surrounding villages and it has always proved very hard to provide new affordable homes here. The SCATA scheme has managed to break the mould - providing the first affordable rented homes to be built in the village for twenty five years. SCATA has its roots in a proposal in the 2009 Broomley and Stocksfield Parish Plan to create a not-for-profit body that could do things for the village that could not be done by the Parish Council, and to do these things in a way that recycled any surplus for direct community benefit. A Steering Group was established with two Parish Councillors and a number of interested parties from the village including the community association, churches, the G.P. Surgery and individual residents. This group first met in March 2011. Four years later, SCATA’s seven new homes were built and occupied. Supported by a start-up grant from Northumberland County Council and on-going support from Social Enterprise Northumberland the Steering Group met regularly to explore opportunities. Given the priorities in the Parish Plan, it was quickly agreed that the initial focus should be on affordable rented housing. Two potential brownfield development sites emerged to give impetus to the project.
