We are the ‘go to’ organisation within East Durham for our often-disenfranchised ‘seldom reached’ communities. We balance delivery and development of a range of community-based and led services. East Durham Trust operates on a ‘hub and spoke’ approach through well-established partnerships with our communities. We work directly with community members and partners to facilitate prevention, intervention and crisis support services delivered in our communities, for our communities and by our communities. We empower people to take ownership of their own needs and work to lift up those most in need in East Durham. We help build and maintain meaningful relationships within our community ensuring those on the margins are helped to reach a spectrum of vital services.
