What your fundraising will support
Children North East are the oldest and largest regional children’s charity in the North East. Since 1891, Children North East has helped to transform the lives of babies, children, young people and families across the North East.
By supporting us this Christmas, you’re not just giving a gift for December — you’re providing a future filled with hope. Your generosity will help sustain essential services such as mental health counselling, support for families in crisis, and safe spaces that help children overcome obstacles and thrive.
The impact your fundraising could make:
- A child supported through a mental health crisis, when they had nowhere else to turn for support.
- A young person gaining the skills and opportunities that will help them create a brighter future for themselves.
- A family offered professional help to find stability and rebuild after experiencing trauma.
Every pound you give becomes a vital part of someone’s journey to a better life. When you choose to donate to Children North East, you’re not just helping today – you’re investing in lifelong change – a happy, healthy life.
