When Ashington Leisure Partnership was created in 2012 it had the aim of assisting the people of Ashington and surrounding area in accessing sport and recreation activities through provision of such facilities and, or provision of the means by which they can participate. We continue those aims now through awarding grants locally.
The Trustees went through a process of review and determined that this aim going forward would be amended to assist other organisations in the provision of sport and recreation facilities and, or activities for the benefit of the people of Ashington and surrounding area. Offering financial assistance to individuals would continue through the John Talbot legacy.
ALP wishes to announce the recent death of Alan Thompson, a very valued colleague and for many years a Trustee of our charitable trust. Alan's input and contributions at our regular Management Meetings will be sorely missed by all Trustees and at this time Ashington Leisure Partnership wish to convey our condolences to his family.
