“A lot has changed since we launched our Rise Together strategy in 2021, including in 2024 a new Labour government and the introduction of the North East Combined Authority (NECA), and earlier this year the transfer of County Durham Sport into Rise to create a single active partnership for the NECA region. We’ve now updated our strategy so that it better reflects these and other changes, so that we support our communities and partners in the best way possible.” – Clare Morley, CEO
