​The People's Takeaway is a radical new project to support families in crisis within East Durham. East Durham Trust has been fortunate enough to receive CrowdMatch funding from Comic Relief which means that if the target of £10,000 is reached then Comic Relief will match it, pound for pound meaning your donation will be doubled.

WHY IS IT NEEDED?

• The former Mining Community of East Durham is one of the UK’s most disadvantaged Communities
• East Durham Trust has delivered over 2,000 food parcels in the last 12 months. The Trust has also fed over 2,000 Children as part of their Holiday Hunger provision
• The need is growing—”Welfare Reform” is hitting the most vulnerable hardest and the introduction of Universal Credit will increase the need—more sanctions, more crisis
• However hard we try current support has an effect on dignity and carries stigma

Our radical new proposal is a volunteer-led takeaway service for families in need which will look and feel like a regular takeaway service but will be FREE!​
