Village SOS Live in The North East
Thursday, 27 October 2011 10:06

Village SOS is a campaign by the Big Lottery Fund which is supporting communities across the UK to start up new enterprises – from shops and food projects to broadband schemes – that will help to rejuvenate their areas and meet the needs of local people. The campaign was launched in August to coincide with the BBC’s Village SOS television series.

The campaign, delivered by rural communities charity Plunkett Foundation in partnership with Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE), Locality and Co-operatives UK, includes a nationwide advice line where people can get expert advice about setting up and running community enterprises from business, social enterprise and rural specialists. It also sees a series of 24 events that visit every English region, Wales and Scotland twice, as well as Northern Ireland.

In the North East, the Village SOS campaign is being supported by Tees Valley Rural Community Council (TVRCC), Durham Rural Community Council (DRCC) and Community Action Northumberland (CAN). TVRCC is running the first one-day event in the region designed to inspire local rural communities to take the first steps in setting up a community enterprise. The second regional event will be in Hexham in Spring 2012.

Starting a community business is a proven way to revitalise your village and boost rural pride. From running shops and pubs to libraries and swimming pools, generating your own renewable energy or setting up a broadband service, the ways to get involved and help your community are only limited by your imagination.

Booking for the Darlington event is now open. Why not come along to this event to hear how others have launched their very own rural revival, starting community businesses that have breathed new life into their villages and created jobs.

Aims for the Day
By the end of the day, participants will:

  • Have heard from a range of inspirational speakers on rural community and social enterprise;
  • Have been able to access free training and coaching; and
  • Have received general advice and signposting for their own community requirements.

Event Attendees
This event will be of interest to:

  • Parish Councillors and Clerks
  • Village Hall Management Committee members
  • Community leaders
  • Civil Society Sector staff

To book your place, please visit the Village SOS website or download and complete the form and return to TVRCC.
