Durham City Parish Council funding

Durham Regatta is delighted to have received support through sponsorship from the City of Durham Parish Council. We are most grateful to receive the funding to help stage the Regatta which is a non-profit making organization run entirely by volunteers.

We aim to attract volunteers in greater numbers and to enhance the volunteer experience this year through a dedicated volunteer hub and management structure.

We would also like to streamline the Regatta’s profile by putting funds towards providing a video through which we can promote the Regatta to the region and beyond.

Parish Clerk Adam Shanley said, “We are absolutely thrilled to support this amazing event we are so lucky to have in our parish.”

In response Durham Regatta Chairman Michael Laing expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Regatta, “The Regatta is delighted that the City of Durham Parish Council has given us their support. The Regatta has always been an event for the residents of Durham and is a wonderful way to attract visitors and share our wonderful City with them”.
