Tony’s best bits

Story by the New Deal executive team.

Tony Hall has spent the last two years as a community representative on the BNDfC board – for him it has been a very varied and rewarding time. Here tells us what he enjoys the most about being involved and why it is all so worthwhile:

  1. Working closely with all the statutory agencies really counts and makes a difference. To have a voice and input into what they do is very beneficial.

  2. Being part of setting up different projects – to see them start from nothing and then blossom so the people of Burngreave really profit from them is great.

  3. Just being part of it – meeting all the different cultures has given me a true insight into our community. It’s been an excellent learning curve.

  4. Travelling extensively to other NDCs and seeing the different NDC models across the country. This has allowed me to bring back new ideas and good practice to Burngreave and implement them.

And what is Tony’s message to anyone who is interested in becoming a board member? – “Go for it,” he says. “Try and get involved straight away, accept any training offered and enjoy it!”
