Esk Valley Together – community partnership online event 31st July

14 July 2020 · Categories: Events

The first Esk Valley Together event took place in November 2019 to showcase inspirational community initiatives and share good practice. The event included chair-based exercises with Anne from Esk Moors Caring, a therapeutic singing session with Rebecca from Flash Company Arts CIC and more information about the Thornton Le Dale Community Hub and Craven’s Asset Based Community Development approach. The vibrant event also provided the space and opportunity for people to network, contribute feedback, ideas and commitments to the Esk Valley area.

Following on from the event last year the Esk Valley are coming together virtually for a fantastic community event on 31st July, 10:00am-4:30pm.
