Steam Shed

Steam Shed in Darlington was set up with the help of the acclaimed theatre company Chicken Shed. They offer opportunities for every member of the community to become involved in drama, music and dance. Their work is fully inclusive with members from all cultural, physical ability and educational backgrounds working on an equal basis.

Steam Shed were awarded £6,850 to purchase equipment, produce a DVD and hold a recruitment campaign to increase awareness of their work and increase their membership.

The additional equipment will mean that the group can cater for an expected increase in members and that those participating will have a more interactive experience.

You can read more by visiting the case study section of our website.



Durham Big Ride - thanks for your support!#

Last Sunday, a team of riders from the County Durham Foundation joined over 600 people to take part in the Durham Big Ride. Alongside 4 dedicated members of our staff over 70 riders from groups we have supported in the past tackled the 25 miles to show us their support.

We would like to say a big thank you to the riders, everyone who supported us on our fundraising page and The Banks Group for sponsoring our team through the The Banks Community Fund. We have yet to find out how much money has been raised by our participants but we have a very promising total already!

We hope to come back in even greater numbers next year. If you are interested in participating in The Big Ride 2008, send us an email.

(Some of the team members with the Mayor of Durham).
