Be a Lifeline Christmas Campaign

When you support Children North East’s Be a Lifeline campaign, you’re doing more than making a seasonal donation — you’re helping to shape brighter futures filled with hope.

Your donation helps continue vital work: providing mental health support, standing beside families in crisis, and creating safe spaces where children can feel secure and overcome their own challenges.

Every pound you give plays a powerful role in transforming someone’s journey towards a brighter future. By supporting Children North East, you’re not only offering help in the moment, you’re creating lasting change that can lead to a happier, healthier life.

This Christmas, be a lifeline. Your generosity today can open the door to a child’s tomorrow. Together, we can build a future where every young person has the chance to shine.

Looking for ways you could get involved with friends, family and colleagues? We have a variety of options and resources below to help your festive fundraising come to life!

If you would like to ask any questions or fancy a chat with our Fundraising Team, please reach out to us on [email protected].
