NELD Charity Criteria

Choosing from the many deserving charities can be difficult, so we base our selection on the following core principles:

• Charity must be based in the North East (if national we request the money raised is spent on people residing in the North East)
• Must be a registered charity with audited accounts
• A representative from the charity must be prepared to attend a presentation evening where they are required to explain exactly how the funds raised will be utilised in their charity
• We do not support charities with high administration costs and insist accounts are transparent
