Derwent Valley 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 Board also looks at how those projects are progressing and gets involved in consultations on local issues. 

Follow Derwent Valley Partnership Area Action Partnership on Facebook for the latest meeting information.

Board meetings

Anyone can attend a board meeting but it does help us to organise things if you are able to let us know beforehand. Our Board meetings are held in person but we may change them to an online meeting during the winter months.

Future DVP board meeting dates

All our Board meetings will be held in the Salvation Army Hall, Sherburn Terrace, Consett, DH8 6ND at 6.00pm. Note that dates, times and venue may be subject to change.

  • 29 January 2025
  • 12 March 2025

If you would like to attend, you are advised to Contact Area Action Partnership - Derwent Valley beforehand to confirm arrangements.
