So this dropped into my emails today even though there was apparently a press release about Local Network (replaces the Area Action Partnership - AAP'S) This has taken over a year to even get this far and lots of groups/organisations have lost vital connections and support in the meantime. Let's see how this develops!

🎉♻️ New Year, New Resolution! ♻️🎉
Why not make this the year you become a volunteer litter picker?

🚶‍♀️ Do something positive for your community
💪 Boost your health and wellbeing
👟 Get your steps in and stay active
🌱 Help protect local streets, parks, and countryside

You don’t have to do it alone — join a local litter-picking group and meet like-minded people who care about where they live. The Civic Pride Team can help with information, advice, and equipment to get you started.

Small actions make a big difference. Let’s take pride in County Durham this year 💚✨
