Fundraising pack
The Children’s Foundation is a regional charity, set up in 1990, with the vision
of giving children and young people in the North East and North Cumbria the
best health and wellbeing services in the UK.
We help the children that other charities don’t always reach; those who are
disadvantaged, disabled and distressed.
Your support can make a difference to over 23,000 children each year.
