Hello! Welcome to Durham Community Action

We are a well-established charity that has been providing support to communities across County Durham since 1935. 

This website has been designed to give you a flavour of our varied work, which is divided into four main themes - enabling communities, supporting volunteering, getting voices heard and promoting action. You will also find all the latest news (including regularly updated COVID-19 response pages), forthcoming events and training opportunities, jobs and copies of our recent newsletters and publications. 

We continue to review our working arrangements in line with current COVID-19 advice and are adopting a model of both home and office based working for our team. We are currently favouring a digital approach to our service offer with our training and events programme remaining online until further notice. Our team are focussed on working in collaboration with our colleagues in the voluntary sector and wider cross sector partners to coordinate information and ensure we can provide help and support which is responsive to the needs of communities in this rapidly changing climate.

There is so much more to Durham Community Action than we can show you on this website. Give our friendly team a call and find out how we can help you. We always welcome your comments and suggestions. If you have an enquiry please contact us at info@durhamcommunityaction.org.uk and your enquiry will be routed to a member of the team who can help you. 

Thank you for visiting our website.
