FUNDRAISING & EVENTS
Together Through Sport
The Together Through Sport campaign has seen major sports foundations across the North East collaborate alongside North East Housing Partnership to make sure every child gets the chance to play, grow and thrive.
Right now, too many young people miss out on the benefits of sport simply because families can’t afford sessions, kit or access.
Your donations will help provide free places on holiday courses and free sports sessions in school, ensuring no child is left on the sidelines.
