Right now, too many children in our region are going hungry and living without hope—and as people of faith, we are called to respond. It’s a matter of justice and compassion. Working together, we can make a difference.
31% (170,000) of all children and young people across the North East were living below the poverty line over the
three years to 2023-24. This is up from 30% over the three
years to 2022-23.
The North East has the UK’s second highest proportion of children living in single-parent families, and the highest
rate of children living in families where an adult or child has a disability.
