County Durham and Darlington Foundation Trust
Our small but perfectly formed NHS Charity supports 8 hospitals and over 150 community locations across County Durham. We rely heavily on the support of local businesses, groups and associations to help us to enhance patient care and wellbeing by providing essential equipment like scanners and multifunctional monitors, to specialist cots for the neonatal unit to toys and games in our children’s wards and departments. We run a series of events and activities for fundraising and hope to encourage fellow members to show their support for our charity by helping us, particularly in this the NHS’s 75th Year.
County Durham Community Foundation provides grants that make a genuine difference to the lives of local people. We manage charitable funds donated by local individuals, families, businesses and trusts, building up a source of long-term support for the community and acting as the vital link between donors and local needs.
Established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in September 2017 we provide youth provision in several villages on the outskirts of Durham.
Currently we deliver to young people aged between 6 -18 years old in the villages of West Rainton, Pittington, Sherburn Village, Sherburn Hill, Bournmoor and Great Lumley.
Our core aims are to:
- Provide a young people led service, adapting and changing to their interests
- Provide a fun, engaging and safe environment for young people to develop confidence, resilience and social skills
- Offer a range of activities and support allowing young people to develop skills and progress in life
- Promote community participation

St Cuthbert’s Hospice is one of County Durham’s most loved and respected charities. Each year we care for thousands of individuals and families who need us at what is a truly challenging time.

We have a community of dedicated supporters and many local and national businesses who help us in our mission to make every day count.
