Help us Build the People's Arts Cafe in East Durham.
Lets Improve access to Culture for Local People!

We have ambitious plans to build an Arts Café as an extension to our headquarters, at Community House in Peterlee.
 
The facility would stage artistic performances and exhibitions and support the aims of our East Durham Creates project by giving disadvantaged people the opportunity to engage with Culture and Creativity.  The café would be directly linked to the People’s Takeaway, the vision being that we can feed families in crisis within a natural and enjoyable setting.  Who needs Starbucks or Sage Gateshead?!

Our crowdfunding appeal will help us raise the necessary finances and you can find out more by visiting our appeal website
