A Charity has benefited from the support of the area's Sikh Community in its fight against poverty. East Durham Trust welcomed representatives of the Sikh Temple to a special event in Peterlee aimed at raising cultural awareness and celebrating diversity. 

​The event saw staff, volunteers and beneficiaries of the Trust's services enjoy food prepared by members of the Gurdwara, in Thornaby, and youngsters from the temple gave a talk on Sikhism covering issues such as customs , traditions and festivals.

​The assembled guests, which numbered around 30, were also given talks by Easington's MP Grahame Morris and the Police. 

​The Trust's Chief Executive Malcolm Fallow said: "It was great to see so many people attend. We have a commitment to breaking down barriers and bringing people together from different backgrounds and cultures in a spirit of friendliness and cooperation."

​GP Dr Kamal Sidhu, who helped organise the vent, said: "It was a great opportunity to showcase diversity, especially at these challenging times of increasing diverseness within society." 

​East Durham Trust provides a range of services for vulnerable people with many facing disadvantage and poverty. Its services include a food bank and providing advice on welfare, benefits and pathways out of debt.
