We said a massive THANK YOU! to our bookshop volunteers by presenting them with a Lions’ Certificate of Appreciation at our coffee morning and annual review earlier today. Without them and Lions volunteering their time in the bookshop, we would not be able to donate so much money to so many good causes in Darlington! 🦁

We are delighted to support this much needed charity

World Mental Health Day - the Listening Post supported the wellbeing and mental health of hundreds of children & young people last academic year by providing 2915 listening sessions in Darlington. This was a 25% increase on the previous year.

It’s good for young people to talk, it’s even better when they feel heard.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at All Saints Church, Hurworth, for our Cabaret Afternoon with 2’s Company.

It was lovely to see the church filled with music, laughter, and community spirit, all while raising funds for The Listening Post - Darlington.

A huge thank you to the performers, everyone who helped organise the afternoon, and all those who came along and supported the event.
