News:
We have been successful in
obtaining funding from Rechar/Easington District and
Easington Health Forum along with some of our own
money for the purchase of this computer. Our aim is
to provide a community newsletter for the residents,
which will hopefully go hand in hand with the
regeneration projects to change our image. This will
be the voice of the people. It will hopefully bring
people together and will provide a vehicle for
opinions and exchange of ideas. Through this we will
be able to inform, include, educate and improve.
Through this website we can bring former residents of
Easington Colliery back in touch with their roots.
Anyone with any comments or information or articles
of interest can reach us at the address on the
contacts page.
Previous successful funding bids have provided
security for vulnerable over-60's to the tune of £5,000+.
We are currently working on a back-yard project in
the Resource Centre to create a safe play and meeting
area for community use.
Community representatives are also working with a
partnership from the National Trust and Durham CDA on
a community project at WhiteLea Farm. This initiative
will play an important part in developing a focus for
the whole area. A presentation and discussion about
the Farm Project will be held shortly, and then an
open day at the farm itself will be held in October.
All are welcome.
