We award grants twice-yearly to local community groups, charity groups and volunteer-led organisations delivering support or services to the people of Durham City and its adjacent villages.
Application Guidelines
Services provided must improve the conditions of those who find themselves in need as a result of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or economic circumstances.
Services must be delivered in premises located in Durham City or its adjacent villages.
The Trust will consider applications which request support for premises running costs, relevant building improvements, room hire and the provision of equipment or consumables which benefit service users.
The Trust does not support the cost of employees, volunteers or external service providers to deliver services.
The Trust does not support requests for travel or trips outside of the supported area.
