Several of our team including James & Henry Carver joined a force of litter pickers helping to clean up the streets near Firthmoor Community Centre!
Darlington Cares offers a coordinated approach to corporate social responsibility by utilising the skills, expertise, knowledge and volunteering resources of local businesses and their employees. These are matched to bespoke volunteering projects or existing community groups and charities.
Volunteering projects are delivered across three key areas:
- Education
- Environment
- Social Justice
They work closely with Darlington Partnership, the local authority, public services and the third sector, to identify and understand the key areas of need within the borough.
To date, their fantastic employee volunteers have given nearly 30,000 hours of volunteering in less than 7 years, helping out schools, community groups, charities and young people in some of the town’s most disadvantaged areas.
Darlington Cares is not for profit and is funded through a combination of public and private sector membership contributions and also grant funding through County Durham Community Foundation. We are kindly hosted by Darlington Borough Council.
