East Durham Solutions: 
Community Coaches

Picture
Picture
East Durham Trust are delighted to announce the latest addition to our growing portfolio of projects to support the most vulnerable East Durham residents. The overall project will be known as East Durham Solutions.

The project will work in partnership with Housing Solutions and has already started with the recruitment of local volunteers. They are ‘Community Coaches’ who will be responsible for hand holding / befriending local people living in private rental properties who are in crisis situations.  They will support residents into identified services as well as receiving and signposting residents into the Housing Solutions Triage System.

The project is funded by the East Durham AAP (Area Action Partnership) with an aim to improve the mental wellbeing of individuals and support them to access current services including community job clubs, debt support, housing solutions, community drop in’s, gardening, arts and crafts, health activities etc

If you would like to volunteer to become a Community Coach for the project contact Judith Turnbull (project co-ordinator) on 0191 5693511 or email judith.turnbull@eastdurhamtrust.org.uk
