This is the incorporated successor Charity to the following: Charity number 234071 - Charity for Roman Catholic purposes in the diocese of Hexham and Newcastle and Charity number 235686 - Hexham and Newcastle Diocesan Trust (1947). promotion of the Roman Catholic faith by supporting clergy, providing pastoral work in parishes and in communities, providing life-long Christian education. Neighbourly food is distributed to individuals and families in need. One person collects food from the designated store then a group of volunteers do the distribution. There is no definite schedule of who gets what so that people do not become dependent on donations but receive what is offered when it is available as an extra support. We sometimes work through other organisations, especially schools, who collect food from us to distribute to families they know who are in need.

Angel Trust was formed as a local charity for the local people of Darlington and County Durham. Our aim is to improve the local community and make life better for those living within it. We have created a food bank in Bishop Auckland town centre after being inundated with request for food support from individuals, through local referral agencies like social services, police, Macmillan, schools etc.

We are continuing to help families in our school who may be going through difficult times by providing food parcels and other support.
