East Durham Connected is a four-year programme led by East Durham Trust - working in partnership with local community centres, voluntary service providers and Durham County Council. Our purpose is to transform and improve the effectiveness of information, advice and guidance services in East Durham.
Funded from a major grant from the National Lottery Community Fund, the project comprises Advice Hubs and Community Advice Gateways, all supported by a team of Advice Pathfinders.
This innovative project is improving the offer and visibility of information, advice and guidance in East Durham.
Our Advice Hubs offer free, impartial financial advice and can assess what help you might need. They can host a range of support services and opportunities fort their local area.
