Five Acres Community Garden were invited to attend the annual prestigious ‘Northern Echo County Durham Together Awards 2023’ as we were nominated in the Community / Voluntary Group Category.
We are absolutely delighted to inform the Newton News readers that, despite the tough competition, WE WON! We were absolutely thrilled and honoured to receive this award.
Five Acres staff and volunteers work extremely hard to deliver a meaningful, diverse and constructive Day Service that is unique to County Durham & Darlington.
We have received overwhelming support from local businesses including Husqvarna, Durham County Council, our local MP Paul Howell, GAMP, Community Spirit, PCP, the wider community and our Five Acres family and friends.
Our Champions are amazing individuals who deserve the credit for this award. They embrace life and we are there to support and encourage them to realise their full potential. This award means the world to us all.
Special thanks to the Northern Echo and Hardwick Hall Hotel for hosting the evening.
