Children North East

Children North East work with families, and within schools and communities to address their needs during critical periods growing up, providing early interventions making a life-changing difference to their futures.

Helping transform children's lives since 1891, the charity strives to meet the changing needs of children. Their current work includes:

• Specialised therapeutic services, including connecting therapists and family practitioners to parents/carers and their babies when relationship issues arise.

• Established mental health support for children and young people, helping them gain confidence, self-esteem and deal with their mental health needs.

• Award-winning youth work, including youth centre provision and relationship and sexual health support. They also deliver community-based initiatives supporting, listening to and championing children and young people.

• Family support, including domestic abuse support and providing expert intervention at times of crisis to help keep families together.

• A UK wide Poverty Proofing© initiative, helping schools, healthcare providers and other organisations remove barriers to children and families living in poverty.
