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 returning to highlight the region’s best voluntary groups.
The North East Charity Awards are returning for their 11th year with a total of 12 prizes to recognise charities, fundraisers and volunteers.

The event will take place on September 11 at The Fed in Gateshead, with entries now open.
