We are now closed for the Bank Holiday and we will re-open at 9am on Tuesday 19th April 
​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
  • Debt and Welfare Advice and Signposting provided by SPIED & Advice and Support In Communities
  • 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.
