It is impossible to properly articulate in these pages the gratitude to all past and present employees, partners, sponsors, funders, and volunteers who have made this possible. 2018/19 has seen us continue the fine work across the community and in schools, and the most exciting development of all has been the capacity we have as an organization to now host all of our holiday camps, tournaments, leagues and events at our own facility. All of our users have benefited from the outstanding facilities, and we are continually building bridges across the entire North East community to grow our provision, delivery and the opportunities for all interested in sport.

  • Ongratulations Mr Roberts on Being Appointed As the What Are You Doing Now and What Route Did You Take? C Next DHSB Headteacher
    ot quite the last word in DHSB Today but perhaps the penultimate. You will be aware that N Dan Roberts will take up post as Headteacher from September following a well-run and demanding campaign to find my successor. It felt strange to be at one remove from the process but I felt fortunate to be a proud onlooker as the school made its decision. Staff, students, Governors and friends of the school all had their say; everyone knew exactly what they were doing. You'll be able to read more from Mr Rob- erts later in this edition. The DfE rather belatedly acknowledged the importance of "Character Building" in schools in the last few months. At DHSB this appeared to be an act of stating the totally obvious. We have always encouraged, supported, and financed the activities that lead to our students gaining experience and confidence. In fact, we have often done this in the face of challenges and hurdles raised by the DfE. One memorable example of our success in this area was reflected in my invitation to be a VIP guest at St James's Palace for a Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award ceremony last month. I was able to meet HRH and pay tribute to our Centre Manager Mr Huq who has trebled the numbers of boys taking the Bronze award in a single year. We were also able to catch up with Old Boy Owen Rees as he collected his Gold Award. Our sporting success has been unprecedented this year and again you’ll get a further flavour in the later pages.

  • Aug 02Nd Bible Reading: Isaiah 61
    The Benefice of Upper Wensleydale Trinity 8 Edition 20 ‘Church in the Home’ Sunday August 02nd– Saturday August 08th From the Vicarage The word ‘Praise’ appears hundreds of times in the Bible and we read of the call to praise God throughout its pages. The psalmists praised God in the good times and in the bad. Praise is certainly about thanking God for all he has done, is doing and will do, but it goes deeper than that. Praise is about declaring the truth of who God is and rejoicing in that knowledge and that is something that we are all called to do. Paul reminds us that praising God changes us. Philippians 4:4-7 It recalibrates the way we look at the world, changes our experience of it and our ministry within it. As we return to our buildings this Sunday for public worship for the first time in 20 weeks, there is much to praise God for. Some things, however, will be a little different as we manage the space and the way we do things; e.g. restrictions on us singing and sharing the chalice in communion, but I’m sure that our ability and desire to gather together to praise God as community will override all of these issues. I am extremely grateful to the teams of folks who have worked so hard in preparing the buildings on your behalf to ensure that they are clean and safe. In recognition of this Visit Britain have awarded us with the ‘We’re Good to Go’ accreditation Sadly, our family services will have to continue on line for a little while longer as the resources and materials that we use in our times together have had to be removed.
