From Coxhoe Parish Council and Coxhoe Village Hall we wish to thank all of our volunteers, donors and customers at the Community Pantry. It was set up to help local people and also to prevent food going to waste, and items also donated to help those in need. We have been so lucky to have good, kind people who give their time to help run the scheme and others who provide donations. Also without the customers who come and shop with us some of the food would be wasted and thrown away. So please continue to donate items, shop with us and help us run this fantastic scheme here in our village. It is a Pay As You Feel scheme and absolutely everyone is welcome. If you haven’t been already come along and see what we have on offer.

Scams affect the lives of millions of people across the UK and it is often the most vulnerable members of society who are targeted. People who are scammed often experience loneliness, shame and social isolation.
The aim of Friends Against Scams is to inspire action, highlight the scale of the problem, change the perceptions of why people fall victim to scams and make scams a local, regional and national topic.
Friends Against Scams aims to protect and prevent people from becoming victims of scams by empowering communities to take a stand against scams.
Would you benefit from a Friends Against Scams session? Please contact Julie Egan, Projects Officer for Friends Against Scams, at Julie.egan@durham.gov.uk tofind out more.
By attending a Friends Against Scams awareness session or completing the online learning below, anyone can learn about the different types of scams and how to spot and support a victim. With increased knowledge and awareness, people can make scams part of everyday conversation with their family, friends and neighbours, which will enable them to protect themselves and others from scams. Anyone can be a Friend Against Scams and make a
difference in their own way.

Coxhoe Parish Council have agreed to delegate some decisions it makes to its Parish Clerk.
This follows best practice and allows certain non – controversial decisions to be made without issues needing a report to committee. This frees up the Parish Council and its committees to concentrate on the most important decisions. It also speeds up some decision making. Details of the nature of delegated decisions available to the Clerk are set out in the Council’s Delegation Scheme. This was approved at the monthly meeting of the Parish Council in December 2019
