Funding Landscapes Conference - November 2011

The York and North Yorkshire Funding Advice Network held their first ever funding conference at York Racecourse on Friday 18 November 2011.  With some fantastic speakers and hundreds of delegates, the day was a huge success!  The North York Moors, Coast and Hills LEADER Programme held two well attended afternoon workshop sessions on Practical Project Development with participants practicing project planning techniques using old wallpaper and plenty of coloured post it notes!! 

All the techniques and tools shared with participants are available on the Useful Resources page of our website. 

Next years conference date has already been set for Thursday 11th October 2012 in Harrogate so put it in your diary now...! 

North East Rural Summit, Slaley Hall - November 2010

Tees Valley Rural Community Council in partnership with Durham Rural Community Council and Community Action Northumberland held the North East Rural Summit at Slaley Hall, Northumberland on 23rd November 2010.  We took with us a display of our programme to promote all the successful projects in the East Cleveland area and happened to be next to a rather bare looking Christmas tree so decorated it with our LEADER information! 

The event focused on the Big Society –what this is and what it means for the voluntary and community sector in the area.  Presentations from the event will be available soon on the TVRCC website – www.teesvalleyrcc.org.uk.

Rural...Past, Present and Future: Heritage Conference 

Duncombe Park was the venue for the Rural...Past, Present and Future heritage conference delivered by English Heritage, the North York Moors National Park Authority and the LEADER programme.  The event was designed for all those with an interest in local community heritage and combined a programme of formal presentations, practical activities and group sessions.  Over the two days delegates also had the opportunity to discuss projects they were involved in, and provide one another with useful tips. 

Speakers at the event included Fred Taggart from the Princes Regeneration Trust, Alison Drake from Castleford Heritage Group, Mike Benson from Ryedale Folk Museum and Nicholas Andrews from the Tim Bobbin Festival.

Feedback from those who attended included:

"The quality of the speakers, the infectious enthusiasm of those engaged in local projects, the evidence of how a tiny initial spark can explode into a remarkable development..."

“Lots of information, ideas and inspiration from a very rewarding day"
