For the fifth month running new partners of Great Aycliffe Community Aid Partnership GACAP were present at their monthly meeting at the Agnew Community Centre last Monday.
Victim Support are the latest organisation to become partners of GACAP. Nicola Stavers told partners about the work Victim Support do to help people in time of crisis. Nicola said she felt that there was an excellent link between the work victim support do and the support GACAP Partners offer.
Ron Mitchie was co-opted as Assistant Secretary with the specific responsibility of co-ordinating the partners information for the Web Site.
It was awards galore too for three partners around the table. Ernie Temple was recognised for the work he does with the Durham Christian Food Bank that operates out of St Clare’s Church.
Sheena Stephenson was recognised for the work she does in volunteering and especially for the Baby Basic’s work for Lifeline Community Action.  Dorothy Bowman received yet another award as a volunteer.
Dorothy Bowman advised that Joan Clark, former chairman of the Agnew Centre and Trustee/officer at Newton Aycliffe Youth & Community Centre had recently been co-opted as Vice Chairman for Western Area Community Centre’s Junior Neighbourhood Watch.
If you as an organisation or individual feel you may be able to support the partnership in any way, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Joan on gacap001@gmail.com or by telephone on 07730 471487
