Give Through a Will

700 Club Legacy

If you’re considering writing or updating your will, leaving a legacy is a very special and enduring way to support 700 Club. It is also straightforward and inexpensive to do.

With a legacy you can leave something behind that will have a lasting impact on those who follow after you and build on what you’ve valued of the 700 Club’s work. Whether it’s our work in the Lodge or with those with drug and alcohol problems, with a legacy you can make sure that the most vulnerable people in our town are not forgotten.

If you would like to speak to someone at the 700 Club about this, please contact us on 01325 366397.

As the organisation moves to a new phase in the battle with COVID-19, we are working with partners to ensure the continued safety of the vulnerable individuals with whom we work. Thank you to all who have supported the organisation during a very frightening period for all.

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. Individuals 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

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
