A fundraising page has been set up to raise money for a church in County Durham after scumbags broke into its safe and stole a number of silver items.

Kimberley Scott and George Jabbour outside Durham city police station in New Elvet A GROUP has been set up for people living in County Durham and Darlington to discuss the crime issues which affect their communities. Darlington residents Kimberley Scott and George Jabbour are behind the idea, and are hoping to get people to volunteer to become police champions who will be able to take the issues which are raised by other members to neighbourhood policing teams. The pair, who set up volunteer group Darlington Supports at the start of the first lockdown in the spring to try and coordinate the community response, hope it will help increase collaborative efforts between police and members of the public.
