Help people get debt free

Help people get debt free by supporting Community Money Advice County Durham. People are struggling with their finances and getting into debt. Our debt advice team operating under Community Money Advice offer a free service to help people to get on top of their financial issues.
Sunderland Foodbank

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food, support and advice to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

Foodbank

County Durham and Sunderland Foodbanks are here to help anyone who is facing hunger because of crisis – for the parents skipping meals so their children can eat, for the tenant forced to go hungry just so they can pay the rent, for the elderly person making the stark choice between heating and eating.

The DCP Community Shop aims to be just that: a community and a shop. It is an established charity shop in Framwellgate Moor, selling clothing, books, toys and all manner of other household items. Profits from the shop are predominantly used to fund the work of County Durham foodbank.
Staff

We have a committed team of staff at DCP, all of whom work hard to ensure the objectives and ethos of support are provided to those in need.
