Holy Trinity in Sunderland is collapsing. It is one of just two Grade I early Georgian churches surviving in the northeast of England. It has been on the Heritage at Risk register for several years and has been nominated as one of the ‘7 Most Endangered’ buildings in Europe. This church marks an important development in the history of Sunderland, which by the 1700s, was a vibrant and prosperous portal town. In particular, it was notable for its sea coal trade with France and the Netherlands.

Home-Start Camden is a local charity that works to support families across the borough. Based in Kentish Town, the organisation has been running for over 20 years, helping local residents with young children when they are going through a difficult time. Each year we support around 120 families and train over 45 volunteers. The key to our success is providing a listening ear, non-judgemental support and carefully matching families with volunteers. A child’s early years are critical, and through our work we help them to have the best start in life.
