					<description><![CDATA[Hi Keith In my life time I have not come across a scheme so wide ranging and so innovative  in the field of the arts in this country! I applaud both the concept and execution to date . Funders  should be embracing the project with wide open arms !!  (Seeking sponsorship from a renowned actor  like Alun Armstrong who attended Consett Grammar School may be useful.)
 I have no doubt the project will become a major flag ship and not only country wide . I am overcome that it is in the village where I live . As an artist I embrace your project wholeheartedly and offer my support with any aspect .]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This looks like a really exciting project that will benefit the local community tremendously.
As a local business in the cultural sector and someone who lives in the area  I would be interested in talking to you to see how we can help out and be involved.  
If you could spare the time to meet that’d be great.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Keith I remember when Karen told me about this project 15 years ago.  It sounded fabulous then and is still very much needed.  To help you to set up your project as a social enterprise/charity, can I suggest you contact Roger Guy at Finchale College, as they&#039;ve just secured a contact to deliver support and guidance to people like yourself who wish to establish such an organisation.  They will also help you to identify possible grant funding etc that will be available to you, once you have a formal structure in place .  This support only became available from October 1st, so is still very new.  If you like, I can introduce you to Roger at Finchale.  If you want to have a chat first, my colleague and I can pop out and see you.  Karen will have known me from my time at derwentside district council, now Durham county council, offering support and guidance to businesses.  Best wishes Joanne]]></description>
