Alston Moor Partnership is a group of local organisations that have formed a partnership to work together to develop projects that will enhance the future well-being of Alston.
The Partnership was originally formed in June 2001 as a result of being allocated £124,000 of European funding to deliver a range of employment related initiatives. Since then the partnership, assisted by Alston Moor Parish Council and Eden District Council have worked on a number of projects, including a community appraisal which has resulted in a full-time Regeneration Officer being employed by Alston Moor Parish Council on behalf of the partnership.
Most recently, a 'Community Chest' fund has been established to enable small projects to access funding for feasibility studies, test marketing and piloting of ideas.
Alston Moor Partnership is keen to make sure that it offers the opportunity for all individuals and organisations with an interest in the future of Alston to participate in activities.
In addition to the wider partnership that meets quarterly, there are a number of working groups that have been established to develop ideas and projects.
