The Children’s Foundation exists to improve the health and well-being of Northeast children and young people by Making Serious Stuff Fun. We aim to give children a best start in life and continue to offer activities and services that improve their health and well-being as they grow. We do this in 3 ways; 1) Early Years – centred on the first 1001 critical days of a child’s life before they start school. 2) Mental Health – offering activities and services to help maintain and improve mental wellbeing. 3) Physical health – offering opportunities for physical activity supported by Youth Workers to help with motivation and break down barriers

Why we need your support
