The Annexe

The Annexe The Annexe is a local Community & Resource Centre run by the Wharton Trust in the D**e House area of Hartlepool.

The Annexe is a recently-refurbished (2010) local Community & Resource Centre run by the Wharton Trust in the D**e House area of Hartlepool. D**e House is within the top 2% of deprived wards in the UK and, as such, experiences high levels of unemployment, low levels educational attainment and aspiration, high levels of health inequalities and extreme levels of deprivation. The centre, throughout i

ts 21-year-history, has supported the people who live in this community and surrounding areas in a variety of ways over the years. Our staff are incredibly passionate and committed to reducing the effects of worklessness and poverty in the area. Most of our activities are around:

Supporting people to access employment and training advice and opportunities

promoting healthier lifestyles amongst all ages, including access to exercise classes and advice on diet/healthy eating

engaging young people in positive activities

improving literacy and access to information through our community library

developing IT skills and providing low cost access to internet services through our newly-equipped IT suite and free internet browsing

We believe that all of the above help to develop more productive and employable individuals and help with our aim to prevent the next generation of young people from falling into the poverty trap that their parents, and in some cases, grandparents have fallen into. By providing families in the D**e House area with opportunities that help them to improve their lives, develop skills and increase their confidence we hope that the end result will be gainful employment. Creating more positive role models within our community will have the knock-on effect of inspiring more young people to want a better life for themselves and motivate them to work for that better life.

What a week to celebrate the incredible people who make everything we do possible 💛

For , we want to say a huge thank you to our amazing volunteers at The Annexe. We are so fortunate to be part of such a supportive and inspiring community, with people who give their time so selflessly and always go above and beyond.

Without our volunteers, so much of the work we do simply wouldn’t be possible. Your dedication, kindness, and commitment make a real difference every single day.

We are also incredibly proud and grateful to have been recognised as Volunteer Group of the Year.
This award truly belongs to each and every one of you.

Here’s a picture of just a few of our amazing volunteers 💫

💚 Mental Health Awareness Week 2026

Monday marked the beginning of Mental Health Awareness Week 2026, with this year’s theme , highlighting the importance of turning awareness into meaningful change.

We are encouraging everyone to take action for mental health for yourself and for someone else.
Small actions can make a big difference, whether that’s checking in on a friend, starting a conversation, or taking time to look after your own wellbeing.

Together, we can help create a more supportive and understanding community.
