“without the help of EAST DURHAM TRUST I don’t dare think about what would have happened to us. We were living hand to mouth and were at rock bottom with nowhere to turn.
​I can’t thank THe trust enough, they really are lifesavers.”

Stop Poverty in East Durham (SPIED) is a project intended to combat the effects of poverty in East Durham through a number of different initiatives. These are: benefit checks and support, debt advice, holiday activities with food to combat holiday hunger, resilience training delivered in community venues and Peer Support Groups.

SPIED has been granted a further 3 years of funding to continue to help support the most vulnerable people throughout East Durham. For more information on what SPIED is now offering please see our SPIED 2 page.
