Durham Martyrs' Parish Support Fund

Thanks to generous donations from parishioners, the parish established a Support Fund. The purpose of the fund is to assist parishioners and their families, in the parish catchment area, suffering short-term financial hardship. The fund is now open to applications.
The Support Fund is overseen by a panel. The panel members are: Tom Harrison, Joe Hughes, Chris Mclean, Tony Power and Emma Turnbull with support from Fr. Colm Hayden.
​
Please read the information sheet before completing your application. A list of alternative support is also available.
