Ms Cruddace said: “The money donated by the Freemasons will make an invaluable contribution to our work in East Durham, where we provide self-help training courses and wellbeing groups for adults who are experiencing various mental health conditions.

The charity is moving from Lee House in Peterlee, to the East Durham Trust office in Yoden Road, Peterlee.
