As lockdown begins to ease, many community venues across East Durham are considering how and when they can open up and resume activity safely. To help with reopening community centres and resuming activities the Trust have gathered a number of useful links and resources for our members on reopening safely. We will be updating this section of our site for members as regularly as possible.
You can find the links below:
