The Northumberland National Park Authority commissioned Graham Taylor of Crown Studio Gallery, Rothbury, to reproduce this set of three Bronze Age Vessels; the originals of which were excavated from Cairns in the Breamish Valley near Ingram.  These were presented to Their Royal Highnesses Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall on the occasion of their visit to the North Tyne Valley, to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the National Park.  The pots were hand made using locally dug clay and exactly the same methods used by the original potters over 4000 years ago.  They were fired in an open "bonfire", to ensure that the final pieces were true to their ancient originals.

Northern Strategic Partnership Commissioned these trophies and awarded them during a ceremony at Alnwick Playhouse in December 2005 to selected Projects funded under this (SRB) Single Regeneration Budget . These included:

Parenting Initiatives, which has helped improve parenting skills throughout the county. Over 5000 support sessions have been delivered across Northumberland and the SRB evaluation found that this was a really outstanding project which recognised a need and responded to it before national or regional policy.

Alnwick Gallery Youth Project has contributed a great deal to youth provision in Alnwick.  400 young people have benefited from housing support, health education, social and leisure activities and counselling.  It has recently run the nationally recognised Respect event, which NSP sponsored, and which featured in national youth magazine The Edge.
