Building Self-Belief Charity Golf Fundraising Day
Our Charity Golf Fundraising Day was a wonderful success, bringing together a fantastic group of supporters for an enjoyable day of golf, fundraising, and community spirit. Blessed with great weather and a great atmosphere throughout the day, with thanks to Consett and District Golf Club, participants enjoyed friendly competition on the course while helping to raise funds for our charity. It was a pleasure to see so many familiar faces alongside new supporters.We would like to extend a really big thank you to everyone who took part, including our golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and those who generously donated prizes and raffle items. The support, generosity, and enthusiasm helped make the event such a great occasion. The funds raised will go towards supporting our ongoing work, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make the day such a success.Special thank you to our teams: NE Youth and Pelton Youth Project, Durham Freemasons , St James’s Place, Eastlake Productions , Eddie’s team , & Consett and District.Watch the reel below:

Sarah Envy - Consett Heritage Podcast
Sarah is Engagement Manager for The National Lottery Heritage Fund North. Until her involvement in our Consett Heritage Project, she was unaware that this area had such a significant industrial past, and that Consett steel was used in the construction of the Eiffel Tower! From photographs she has seen of the old Consett Ironworks, she now realises that you would have been able to see rows of machinery just over the horizon from the Reservoir, peeking over the ridge of the dam. She believes that we need to continue to provide opportunities to access such a significant part of Consett's heritage. She is particularly excited about the latest Heritage initiative that will truly put Co Durham on the cultural and heritage map!
