The People’s Takeaway is an innovative project that provides hundreds of hot meals to East Durham residents who are in financial crisis. The food is delivered to their door just like a normal takeaway.
Thanks to overwhelming support and a successful crowdfunding campaign where funds raised were matched by Comic Relief's CrowdMatch fund the People's Takeaway was established.
The volunteer led project provides takeaways on a regular basis to individuals and families across East Durham and the funding enabled East Durham Trust to transform it's kitchen at Community House into a catering space, recruit and train volunteers and regularly provide hot meals to local people in crisis. Since it's launch the project has provided thousands of meals to local people.
Like our FEED project People's Takeaway is a referral based service - for more information ring us on 0191 5693511.
