Thank you Players of the People’s Postcode Lottery!

 

Children North East and Players of People’s Postcode Lottery are working together to support babies, children, young people and families across the North East of England.

Players of the People’s Postcode Lottery have supported Children North East for 16 years, providing over £4.2 million to help babies, children and young people in the region grow up happy and healthy. These funds have empowered our teams to reach more young people and families with life-changing services, often when they have no where else to turn. With their help, we have been able to provide therapeutic and mental health support, domestic abuse recovery programmes, safe spaces for young people to realise their potential and projects strengthening families and communities.

Players’ support plays a transformative role in our work towards happy, healthy childhoods. The ability to use funds flexibly has allowed us to provide help when it will make the biggest impact, sustain services through change and respond when an urgent need arises, such as during the pandemic.
