STOP POVERTY IN EAST DURHAM

Picture
“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.


For more information about SPIED or to access any of the services above contact Helen on 01915693511 or helen.waller@eastdurhamtrust.org.uk

WHAT WE DO

We help the communities of the former district of Easington which is made up 20 distinct areas, most of which are former Pit villages that continue to be hugely affected by deprivation following the closure of the Pits.
​
We run a wide range of projects to help the community fight disadvantage including food parcels, telephone befriending for the socially isolated, helping people in the downward spiral of debt, supporting people to get the benefits they deserve, providing holiday activities with food, getting the disengaged engaged with the arts and more.
