About us

Rooted in Northgate. Reaching across Darlington.

Darlington Unity Community Trust (DUCT) is a registered charity bringing people together across cultures, generations and backgrounds.

DUCT is based in the Northgate Ward of Darlington — one of the most culturally diverse parts of the town. From our base in Northgate Ward, we run programmes, events and spaces that help neighbours meet, learn from each other, and build a community everyone can be proud of.

We work with families, young people, elders, new arrivals and long-time residents alike. Whether it's English-language classes, cultural festivals, advice surgeries or simply a warm room and a cup of tea, the door is open.

DUCT is governed by trustees from the community we serve and powered by volunteers, members and partners across Darlington.
