What we do

Children North East works with children, young people and their parents who are living in poverty or whose lives are disadvantaged because of family misfortune – divorce or separation, eviction, redundancy, long term unemployment, victims of crime, imprisonment, long term ill health, depression or post traumatic stress. We believe it is just not fair some children do not get the same chances and breaks as their peers.

Our mission is to promote the rights of children and young people; and counter the effects of inequality on them, their families and communities.
