Church View Apartments

In 2019, in partnership with Home's England, the 700 Club purchased Pembroke Court on Neasham Road in Darlington. It is currently being converted to 32 self-contained, one bedroom apartments to use as move-on accommodation for individuals who have the potential to live independently, but who are not yet ready to do so. The re-development is due to be complete in June 20. Each apartment will be fully equipped, with a bedroom, lounge, kitchen, bathroom and its own front door.

Support will be provided 24/7 to individuals for up to one year. Our aim, through support, up-skilling, and confidence building, is to help such individuals make a full transition to living independently, leaving behind any of the challenges that they have previously faced.

To complete the project and deliver the service, the empty rooms require furnishing and equipping - everything from a bed to a toaster, a wardrobe to a set of cutlery. Help us to furnish the project and be part of changing a person's life.

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.

Where the need is greatest

Our work goes on day after day, but it's only through the generous donations of our supporters that this remains possible. With your help we can bring an end to the suffering that homelessness causes. Read more
