Free Takeaway Will Help Feed East Durham Families in Crisis

A charity is celebrating after raising over £10,000 to help feed residents struggling to make ends meet.

​The People’s Takeaway will be set up at East Durham Trust’s Peterlee premises with money raised from the Crowdfunding appeal and matched by Comic Relief.

The volunteer-led project will support families in crisis by providing them with hot meals for free. A working kitchen is being established with local people preparing and delivering food to people.

Malcolm Fallow, the trust’s chief executive, said: “The response in such a short space of time has been astonishing. We have had a large and small donations from near and far. Clearly there are people out there who care about people less well off than themselves.”
