Volunteering is a great way to give back to your local community and enhance your employability prospects.
The East Durham Community Trust is looking for new volunteers for the Community Coaches project. We are looking for: - a) Volunteers to help fill in forms, signpost and refer clients to other organisations and help with housing advice/Budgeting/Welfare Support. b) Volunteers who can drive to help accompany clients to access community events and activities. Also help clients attending Benefit appointments for extra support. Full training will be given and expenses will be paid for any travel that is undertaken for the role. If you are interested please contact Kylie Austin (Project Co-Ordinator) on 0191 5693511 or kylie.austin@eastdurhamtrust.org.uk Further information on our Community Coaches project is available here. Today we are at the Mental Health Provider Forum sharing information about the vital services we provide within the community and finding out more about other support available both locally and across the County.
"Thank You" Creative Champion Volunteers for helping to make 'If These Walls Could Talk' possible17/5/2019
We would like to give a massive shout out and say "thank you" to all the Creative Champion Volunteers who made East Durham Creates If These Walls Could Talk possible! Many of them gave up huge amounts of their time to man bus shelters, some were there at 5.30am until late at night and all of them were friendly faces for the thousands of people who engaged with event throughout the day. All in the scorching heat! Thank you Creative Champions, we couldn't do it without you.
There are probably volunteers we didn't get photos of so "thank you" to them too! We are delighted to announce that our Active Minds Group is continuing with an extension until April 2020 thanks to the support of Durham County Council Adult Health Services.
Further information on Active Minds is available here.
