A Multi-agency Approach to Help Those Begging

Agencies came together today to launch 'Have a Heart Give Smart', an initiative that encourages the generous people of Darlington to give to the charities that support those begging rather than to the person on the street.
Help those who beg

Loose change feeds problems, it is not a solution. Help us bring support to those who beg. People beg for different reasons, but for all it is symptomatic of need. Help us to meet the person's needs so that they are not diminished by the need to beg.
Help support the homeless

I find it hard to understand how in a strong rich country we are still finding people with no roof over there head and don't know where there the next meal is coming from.
Northstar help those who beg

Northstar staff and tenants have given their support to our work with those who are begging in Darlington. Following a presentation about the work that we do at the Middlesbrough Football Stadium, there was a collective decision to give £840.42 from a £3000 community pot to the 700 Club.

Who are we?
Bridge2Home

Bridge2Home opens the door to the privately rented sector for those who are financially excluded from this sector because they cannot afford the bond.
The Lodge

The Lodge offers a temporary 'home' for people who are in housing crisis. If you are already rough sleeping, or in danger of doing so, call us for advice or call in at the Council's Housing Department for a Key Point of Access assessment. You can also self-refer to the Lodge.
Supported Accommodation

The 700 Club provides 29 units of supported accommodation across its two hostels in Darlington. Clients stay for up to a year as the progress towards independence.
Work for us

Roles become vacant from time to time. Why not apply to become part of our team? The 700 Club actively promotes equality of opportunity and welcome applications from a wide range of candidates. We select all candidates based on their skills, qualifications, and experience.
Emergency Food

Out of hours food is held by the 700 Club at its hostel St. George's Hall in Elmfield Street. The store is available for access on all evenings and during the weekend. Agencies may refer people with whom they may have some involvement, but clients can call at St. George's Hall without referral.
Our History
Overnight Bank Staff

700 Club require Overnight Bank Workers across the organisation, paid on a shift by shift basis. If you feel this would be something you could do, please make contact. Full training provided.
Early Intervention Outreach Project

The 700 Club Early Intervention Project is a partnership with Darlington Borough Council and is part of the Governments Trailblazer Initiative aimed at the prevention of homelessness.
Sponsor a room

We believe that no one should be left with no alternative but to sleep on the streets or on a friends sofa. To allow it diminishes not only those forced to do so but also those who know about it, but refuse to act. Together we can make a difference.
