During the summer months of 2013 East Durham Trust mobilised the local community in attempts to collect 1 MILLION drinks cans. The project was designed to do three things:
  • Clean up the local environment
  • Get people actively engaged
  • Help local good causes

The following individuals have made a significant contribution to the nationally recognised project - The Million Can Challenge. In  doing so they have ensured that the community of East Durham is a better place to live and that a number of local good causes have been supported in the process.

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, helping people get into employment, providing holiday activities with food, getting the disengaged engaged with the arts, support for single parents, arts on prescription, community loans and SO MUCH MORE!
