Durham Community Action turns 90!

On 20th November, Durham Community Action celebrated turning 90 by welcoming over one hundred people to an event at Ushaw Historic House and Gardens.

Lots of networking took place, accompanied by a selection of videos from groups that have received support from DCA, an opportunity to explore the DCA archive, and some delicious scones! 

Kate Burrows, Executive Director of Durham Community Action, said:

" It was lovely to see so many people from across the County join us to celebrate this momentous milestone for Durham Community Action.

It was a great opportunity to reflect on the work and impact of our organisation over the last ninety years, and to hear directly from community groups the difference we have made to them. 

DCA exists to help those working to support their communities by making sure voluntary and community organisations are recognised for the work they undertake and the impact they have in communities, on people's health, their economic well-being and their ability to enjoy their lives in their places.

Thank you to everyone for your support. We hope to continue working alongside you all for another ninety years!"
