Local women are set to celebrate the anniversary of the Suffragette movement with a march on February 3rd.
SUFFRAGETTES TO BE CELEBRATEDBISHOP AUCKLAND women have have come together to join the centenary commemoration of the Suffragette movement.
Bishop Auckland and Durham County Councillor, Joy Allen has joined with volunteers and members of Bishop Auckland Women’s Institute as they put the town at the centre of marking the historic occasion.
Cllr Allen said: “As part of the anniversary, I would like to see 100 men, women and children come together next month for a march to celebrate the women of the Suffragette movement, the
men who voted in favour of the change to make it happen, to shine a light on other significant women and to highlighting today’s social inequalities such as the gender pay gap.
“People will probably know about famous Suffragettes such as Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the movement, but I’m learning a lot more about this history and feel we should all know a bit more, to commemorate the past and because it is still relevant today.”
The parade, hinted Cllr Allen, could include reenactments and will conclude in a tea.
Meanwhile, the group of volunteers have been busy preparing for the clebrations by creating home made Suffragette hats and banners while silk artist Susana Santos has produced specially commissioned, hand painted scarves.
“I came across Susana at the Bishop Auckland College student art exhibition and was taken by her beautiful scarves.
“The Suffragette scarves (pictured above) include the names of Suffragettes and other images associated with the movement.”
Cllr Allen’s mother, Julia Nolan, is one of the group.
The 75-year-old has been a collector of Suffrage movement-themed paraphernalia which is now all being put to good use.
“We’re celebrating and showing our appreciation of the effort, struggle and punishment the Suffragettes took,” she said.
The march, which is set to be one of the first events in the region and country to commemorate the anniversary is provisionally scheduled for Saturday, February 3rd.
Anyone interested in being involved should contact Cllr Allen on 03000 268672.

POLICE INTERCEPTORS have helped raise more than £9,000 in memory of their colleague PC Gavin Smith.
The money was raised at an afternoon tea event in aid of Butterwick Hospice which 350 fans attended on January 2nd.
PC Smith, who died of cancer in February 2017, had been with Durham Constabulary for 12 years and worked with the Roads Policing Unit at Spennymoor
station. He was also a star of the show Police Interceptors on Channel 5.
His widow, Kezi Smith and daughter Tilly attended the event. Kezi said: “It was a real comfort to us after Christmas, where we all missed Gav terribly.
“The Interceptors did Gav proud and it was fantastic to see them joining in the spirit of things, even auctioning themselves off to raise extra cash.
“Butterwick Hospice is such as a well-deserving charity.”
INTERCEPTORS RAISE FUNDSCrowds of Police Interceptor fans raised over £9,000 for Butterwick.
A NEW course to help residents boost their English and maths skills has been announced.
The 10-week course, organised by County Durham Housing Group, has been designed to boost employment skills for everyone taking part, as well as making everyday life easier.
Starting on Wednesday, January 24th, the Level 2 course will cover subjects including CV and letter writing, essential maths, and money management. The training will take place at Auckland Youth and Community Centre in Woodhouse Close from 9am to 4.30pm and is free to anyone who is a County Durham Housing Group customer looking for work.
Despite being delivered to Level 2 standard, no previous experience is necessary and teaching is carried out by highly-qualified tutors in small groups and at a
learners’ own speed. County Durham Housing
Group Community Training Coordinator, Sean Robson, said: “English and maths skills are vital in the workplace and in everyday life. This course not only offers practical skills, it also gives a nationally recognised qualification that employers will be looking for on applications.
“The course is free and is designed for people who might not be particularly confident in these areas. And the skills learned will genuinely make a huge impact on people’s lives.”
This course is the latest in a series of training and educational opportunities being offered by County Durham Housing Group, one of the region’s largest providers of affordable housing.
More information, and enrolment details, are available from Sean Robson on 0191 349 7753 or [email protected].

STUDENTS AND staff at King James I Academy in Bishop Auckland have raised £2018.00 to support 11 year old Academy student, Demi-Leigh Proud and her family, as they look to rebuild their home following a house fire just two weeks before Christmas.
The blaze, which was caused by a washing
machine fault, completely destroyed the family home in Crook, along with all personal belongings.
All members of the family escaped unhurt and Ms Proud and her children are now settling into their new home.
On hearing the news, staff at the Academy launched a support initiative to ease the immediate difficulties
faced by the family.Donations of uniform,
clothing and essential items were received, along with Christmas gifts to replace those lost in the fire.
The cash total, which was raised in just two weeks, was presented to Demi-Leigh’s Mum, Natalie Proud by Nick Grieveson, Head Teacher at the Academy.
He said: “Despite this dreadful experience, Demi-Leigh was up-beat and back in school within days; she has demonstrated a level of resilience that is an inspiration to us all.
We hope this money will show the family how much we care, and that it will help to make life a little easier as they begin a new year in their new home.”

This year, the ambitious pair will host the first wedding fair for the club in the hope of attracting local couples to take a look at what the affordable venue can offer.
Donna, events manager, said: “Our wedding bookings have exceeded previous years. We are becoming a modern, flexible and affordable
local option for couples from not only Bishop Auckland and surrounding areas, but also Ferryhill and Newton Aycliffe.
“The fair is an opportunity for those planning their big day to see how our function room can look and how we can make use of our outside space. We have a number of local suppliers also lined up on the day to help with all those extra touches to make your day special.”
The event will take place on Saturday 3rd February at 11am – 4pm, visitors will receive a glass of prosecco and a welcome pack on arrival.
