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, of course, enter the details on our website.
