COMMUNITY

We believe we are called to love our town and beyond with the love of Jesus in practical ways.

Vineyard Café

We love our town and want to serve people living here.

Set in the heart of our town, at Vineyard Café we serve great coffee, cakes and great food in a setting where you’re not rushed and there is always a listening ear if needed.

Everything we serve is ethically sourced, slave trade free and as plastic free as we can.

We might be biased, but we think it’s the best coffee, cake and food in town! ;)

Lead by Jonny Hoggett, our amazing cafe manager, alongside an amazing team of volunteers and Monika who heads up our kitchen.

You’ll find more information on our café Facebook page.

Hope & Glory

Hope & Glory is our vintage shop, set in the heart of Darlington. It was established to create a unique shopping experience through a vibrant selection of items that focus on the premise of rework - reuse - restore.

We believe that fabrics, colour and individual style are a wonderful way to bring life in more ways than one. Monies from this shop are used to fund our community creative space at Salt Yard. We want this shop to complement and be a part of the restoration of Darlington in our own small way. From our bright exterior, to our love of colour, individuality and creative clothing, we hope we have a lovely place to browse and buy into a longevity of items and an investment in your own unique and personal style.

GROWBABY DARLINGTON
Since 2019 we have served families in Darlington providing much needed baby items. This has included but is not limited to moses baskets, cots, clothing, toiletries, pushchairs, hospital bags, car seats, stair gates, toys and much more.

As a local Growbaby we can continue to offer all of these things, for free regardless of income, faith or background.

We are passionate about building community and growing relationships.

On Wednesdays from 12.30pm - 2.30pm Wesleys Lounge is open to anyone who needs something for their little ones. It’s a place for coffee, to find support, relax and let their children play.

Our team will be available to chat with people who pop in to Growbaby on Wednesdays but there’s also a huge amount that goes on behind the scenes too.

TIPPY TOES TODDLERS
We recognise that having a little one is absolutely amazing and yet sometimes can be exhausting and isolating.

Tippy Toes toddlers runs on a Wednesday morning in Wesley’s from 10am to 12pm. It’s open to anyone with children from 0-4 years and we’re SEN aware and inclusive.

We’re here to build relationships and community and to have fun!

Overseas Support

At Darlington Vineyard we’re passionate about overseas mission and believe that world missions is an important part of the Kingdom of God.

Currently we support overseas missionaries as they Church plant in SE Asia, locals in SE Asia as they Church plant and love their communities and we sponsor a child in India through Love the One.

Love the One, itself as a concept, exists to stand alongside poor, abused, orphaned, exploited and marginalised children in India. One child at a time.
