What a smashing day for Burnhope as our banner was once more paraded at Durham Miners’ Gala. It’s been a few years since we were there as the banner needed restoration but following our own Burnhope Gala Centenary 1926-2026 it was time to come back.

And come back we did!

With the outstanding Newton Aycliffe Pipe Band leading us, everyone turned to look and there are photos of us all over the media!

A huge thank you to the amazing folk playing the pipes and drums - how you do that whilst marching and maintain that superb image is beyond me - top marks 👏

Well done Burnhope - we’re back!

The Burnhope Partnership

The Burnhope Partnership was established to bring together community groups and organisations within Burnhope Village, encouraging collaboration, sharing ideas and best practice, and keeping local people informed about community projects and events.

The Partnership is governed by a constitution, managed by an elected committee, and maintains a community bank account with Barclays. It provides financial oversight and support by holding community funds on behalf of various groups, helping to ensure transparency, accountability and good governance.

Over the years, the Partnership has supported numerous local organisations, including the Senior Citizens Group, Heritage Group, Burnhope Primary School, Burnhope Cricket Club, and local Children’s Homes. The most recent group to join the Partnership is the Burnhope Banner Group.

The Partnership meets monthly at Burnhope Community Centre.

For more information about The Burnhope Partnership or its work within the community, please contact Chairperson Janice Ross or Secretary Hayley Gibson.
