Young Person's Service

Are you the parent or the carer of a young person with an unacknowledged problem with drugs or alcohol? Is the chaotic behaviour of a young person disrupting your home? Are you at the point where you simply want the young person to leave?

Are you a young person with a drug or alcohol problem that is controlling your life?

We have a specialist Floating Support service for young people. The team will also work with parents and carers with the aim of bringing stability to a fragile situation. We can help with:

Understanding and managing drug and alcohol issues
Making and maintaining contact with drug and alcohol services
Homelessness prevention
Sourcing, applying for and moving into accommodation

You can be assured of complete confidentiality.

You can contact us on 01325 366397 and self-refer or just come along to a Drop In on Tuesdays and Thursday (9.00-12.00am) at our Head Office, Roadway House, Beaumont Street West, DL1 5SX

Our History
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.
More than a bed

No one should go without a bed. Winter and the cold is coming. I want to help others.
Focus on Wellbeing

As an organisation, in all that we do, we seek to be person centred not problem centred. This principle is embodied in the support provided around health and well-being. This project brings together one to one support with education, awareness raising and opportunities to participate in activities that enhance physical well-being.

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.

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
