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, which has been a overseen by Broadacre Housing Association, was due to be complete in June 20. It has, however, been delayed by COVID-19, and is now scheduled for completion in September 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 people 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.

In 2021 the 700 Club celebrates its Silver Jubilee. From the hastily erected mock doorway on High Row in Darlington, and the generous 700 who gave £50 towards opening a first hostel, the organisation has gone on to deliver nearly 400,000 bed-nights. What would a donation from you look like in 25 years?

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 jointly funded partnership between Darlington Borough Council and Durham Police. It is based on the belief that big and costly problems can be prevented if they are addressed when they are still small.
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

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. Read more
