Awards that celebrate the best of the North East’s charity sector - plus the companies and individuals that do so much to support it - are launching again.
The North East Charity Awards are returning for their ninth year with a total of 13 prizes to recognise charities, fundraisers and volunteers. The Charity Awards – which are organised by The Journal and our sister paper on Teesside, The Gazette – aim to shine a light on the region’s top charities and those that work in them, as well as individual fundraisers and businesses that support voluntary groups.
Last year the top North East Charity of the Year prize was won by Citizens Advice Gateshead. Other winners included Difference North East, Shared Interest Society and Karbon Homes. The event – which takes place at the Fed in Gateshead on July 19 – will this year feature a new prize of Trustee Board of the Year.
