Culture for Heton (Reg. Charity 1168916)
Annual Report for AGM 3 June 2024
The object of the Group is to promote good citizenship for the public benefit and advance the Education of the public on the local Heritage and traditions of the area. We successfully achieved this in 2018 with the erection of a Coal Mining related Statue in a prominent position within the village of Hetton and continue to provide public liability insurance.
After the Pandemic our new project was to be the restoration of St Nicholas Graveyard in the centre of Hetton, including the restoration of the Tomb of Nicholas Wood, a listed monument. This project proved to be difficult to progress, leading us to try a combined effort with Hetton Colliery Railway 200, another local charity., however progress has remained slow.
New projects to be progressed 1) A Calendar by the Culture for Hetton for 2024/25.n 2) To pen a story of Culture for Hetton and the resulting funds raised and the commissioning of the Hetton Town Mining Statue which is recognised as a fantastic achievement.
We have looked at the viability of the group and agreed to continue and to look for new members to take us forward and inject wider participants.
Details of the actual funds and our current financial position are provided by our Treasurer in his report.
