​In partnership with MacMillan Cancer Support, we have expanded our Chit Chat and FEED Projects to include specific provision for those individuals living with cancer.

Living with Cancer: Chit Chat

Our volunteer-led telephone befriending service provides support for those living with cancer as well as their family and friends.

All of our callers are MacMillan-trained.

The service is FREE.

​Please note: this is not a counselling service.

Living with Cancer: Food Parcels

Our FEED project is now providing food parcels specifically catered for the dietary requirements of people living with cancer. These parcels are for people home from hospital or receiving treatment in the community.

​The parcels can be delivered by friendly volunteers, who can then chat with the recipients.

WHAT WE DO

We help 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 following the closure of the Pits.
​
We run a wide range of projects to help the community fight disadvantage including food parcels, telephone befriending for the socially isolated, helping people in the downward spiral of debt, supporting people to get the benefits they deserve, providing holiday activities with food, getting the disengaged engaged with the arts and more.
