​East Durham Trust is a charity and VCS organisation based in Peterlee. We provide a range of support services to the communities of the former district of Easington which is made up 20 distinct areas, most of which are former Pit villages that continue to be hugely affected by deprivation and disadvantage following the closure of the Pits.

​These services include:

• Our FEED Food Parcel Service including Macmillan Food Parcels
• Debt and Welfare Advice and Signposting provided by SPIED & Community Coaches
• Our Chit Chat Telephone befriending service
• Adult and Community Learning Opportunities
• Our East Durham Creates Major Arts Engagement project
• Support, advice and guidance for the local Community Sector (see below for more info)

More information about what we do can be found in the Projects section of our website.

​Following our hugely successful Covid-19 crisis response which saw the Trust support 1000's of individuals impacted by the pandemic we are beginning to resume all services in line with ongoing Government Guidance.

If you require support or have any questions about what we do please contact us on 0191 5693511
