Children North
East organises a number of events each year to raise vital
funds and raise awareness of the work that we do, and so do
members of the public. This page details the events which
are organised by us or by people raising money for us. More
will be added as details are finalised, so please keep coming
back for details.
If
you would like to organise an event in aid of Children North
East, we would be delighted to hear from you and we would,

designs in Lego as part of Student Volunteering Week. The
designs will then be auctioned off on the evening by Jim
Railton or Railton Antiques, Auctioneers & Valuers.
All proceeds from the event will help towards the refurbishment
of WEYES.
