Durham AAP Board meetings
We hold regular Board meetings where we put plans and actions in place to help community groups and local organisations develop projects that meet our AAP priorities.
The Durham AAP Board meets regularly alternating between face to face and online meetings. For further information on how to attend the online Board meeting please Contact Area Action Partnership - Durham.
The Board also looks at how those projects are progressing and gets involved in consultations on local issues.
Follow Durham Area Action Partnership on Facebook for the latest meeting information.
