Our dedicated committee is at the heart of changing the lives of children and young people who are disadvantaged due to disability, poverty, or social exclusion in Northumberland.
We have over 100 active members in Northumberland and have proudly raised over £690,000 since our inception.
These funds have supported a diverse range of impactful projects, from therapy cabins to outdoor leisure spaces, and to date, we have changed the lives of over 100,000 children and young people.
Please donate to support projects in the Northumberland region.
