Celebrating the Heart of the Community: The North East Charity Awards Are Back!

The North East is gearing up for a vibrant celebration of altruism and dedication as the North East Charity Awards return for their 12th year. Set to take place on September 10 at The Fed in Gateshead, this prestigious event will honor organizations and individuals that exemplify outstanding commitment and make significant contributions to the community.

A Night of Inspiration and Recognition

This year's awards promise to be a memorable occasion, bringing together passionate fundraisers, selfless volunteers, and dedicated charities from across the North East. With twelve prestigious awards up for grabs, the event aims to shine a light on those whose efforts often go unnoticed but are crucial to the fabric of society.

Support from Esteemed Partners

Organized by The Journal, in collaboration with the Gazette, the awards are backed by several notable partners including RBC Brewin Dolphin, Community Foundation North East, and Point North. Jeffrey Ball, director at RBC Brewin Dolphin’s North East Charity Team, expressed the honor of being the headline partner, emphasizing the extraordinary dedication that fuels the region's charities.

Last Year’s Winners and Exciting Categories

Last year's standout was The Junction Foundation, recognized as North East Charity of the Year for its exceptional work in providing employment, mental health, and career support to young individuals. Other award categories include Charity Leader of the Year, Outstanding Social Enterprise Award, and Rising Star Award, among others, highlighting a diverse range of impactful work within the charitable sector.

These awards not only serve to recognize the hard work and achievements of these organizations but also inspire others in the community to contribute to local charitable efforts. Journal editor Graeme Whitfield captures the spirit of the event, remarking on the inspiration found in the stories of nominees and winners alike.

As the North East Charity Awards approach, the anticipation builds for an evening dedicated to celebrating the heroes within our communities who are committed to making positive changes. More information about entering the awards can be found at northeastcharityawards.co.uk.
