Tees Valley (Across Darlington and Middlesborough): We began working in Darlington in 2025 with a woodwork shop, craft groups and supported housing. This now includes a specialist team working with young unaccompanied asylum-seekers and those with leave to remain (aged 16-25) across Darlington & Middlesborough. We have exciting opportunities to grow our both general and specialist housing provision.
