The What’s ‘GREAT’ in Newton Aycliffe and Middridge Event is taking place on Saturday 8th November 2014, from 10.00am until 2.00pm at Newton Aycliffe Youth & Community Centre.
Find out more about all the great work that’s going on in your local community – there will be free activity taster sessions and demonstrations taking place throughout the day.
If you are a member of a local community group working with young people, we will also be launching a ‘Small Grants Fund for Children & Young People,’ so come along and pick up an application pack.
Groups can apply for grants of up to £1,000 to fund projects and activities related to children and young people. Local groups are encouraged to attend the event and pick up an application pack.
A really vital part of the event is also to ask local people to vote for their most important priorities – the things that you think matter the most to you and your community – the results of your votes will give the GAMP Board members a steer when they look at deciding what priorities we should be working on for the area next year.  GAMP has an Area Budget of £120,000 to spend on local projects to address the priorities each year – so it’s really crucial that you take this opportunity to tell us what you feel is important.
