It’s our November Give-Back Friday on 29th November, which also happens to be Black Friday, and we’re donating 10% of our daily sales in our Whitley Bay shop and bellwoodslifestylestore.co.uk, to Newcastle based charity, Children North East.
We've supported Children North East for three years now, on each Black Friday. We were able to donate £250 in 2023, and we’d love to be able to gift the same, or a little bit more, this year.
Children North East have been helping children and young people grow up to be healthy and happy since 1891. The organisation delivers services, support and initiatives that provide a platform for children, young people and families to work through issues, take action and provide them with the tools to reach their full potential.
This includes therapeutic services, mental health support, youth work, family support, domestic abuse services, community-based support, consultations with young people and Poverty Proofing©. They also campaign on issues affecting babies, children and young people and influence social policy and system change to address obstacles preventing babies, children and young people growing up happy and healthy.
In the past year Children North East have supported 3,921 babies, children and young people in the region, and have reached 1,094 families and 31,124 children in schools.
They delivered this life changing work through over one million minutes of activities, which is only made possible thanks to the generous support of their funders and supporters who help transform children’s lives throughout the North East. If you'd like to make your own donation, you can support the Children North East Be A Lifeline Campaign, or buy some of your Christmas gifts with Bellwoods, and let us make a donation for you.
