GAMP looking for three new reps

The Great Aycliffe & Middridge Partnership (GAMP) has three public representative vacancies on the partnership board.

This is an exciting opportunity for local residents from the partnership area with a keen interest in the local community, to join a dynamic and proactive board who have successfully delivered a number of projects throughout the area since its formation in 2009.

GAMP co-ordinator Brian Riley (pictured above) said: “The work of the partnership is driven by the support and enthusiasm of the board.

“The public representative vacancies represent a good opportunity to become directly involved and make a difference in our local community.

“The public representative role itself isn’t onerous; in terms of time commitments, there’s a requirement to attend a board meeting every two months, and preferably to have input to at least one of our Task & Finish Groups if you can.

“But really it’s about sharing your valuable local knowledge and being passionate about your community – helping to make a difference in our area.”

Some meetings will potentially take place ‘virtually’ in future, so reps should ideally have access to relevant IT equipment.

To become a public representative on the board you must live, work, volunteer or study within the partnership area, and you must be over the age of 16.
