One North East have commissioned Pentagon Partnership and the Tees Valley VCS Forum to host 2 mini-conferences to mark the launch of a report* (commissioned by One NorthEast and produced by the PNE Group) exploring the Third Sector’s involvement in creating and improving physical spaces in deprived areas.
Featuring a range of expert speakers from the public and third sectors, the events will explore:
When and why? The benefits of asset development and physical regeneration
Opportunities – identifying them and capitalising on them
Barriers – perceived and actual - and how to overcome them
How can One NorthEast and local authorities help?

Over the past year Beccy has been working hard in the studio alongside producer Joe Rusby, recording at the Pure Records studio in Penistone, Yorkshire, with guest vocalists such as Kate Rusby and Richard Dawson.
Beccy has recently played the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Solfest, and Stockton Riverside as well as venues in New York. She has been playlisted on BBC Radio and various regional and internet radio stations, and performed live on LBC and BBC Radio 2.
This is a very exclusive event and the numbers will be limited. There will be a bar service on the evening and Beccy will be on hand to chat, answer questions, and sign CDs - as well as performing.
