A year of fundraising success
for Children North East
JDDK Architects continued its support for Children North
East, our Charity of the Year for 2024/2025, with a series of
fundraising activities throughout the year. Since April 2024, in
addition to our annual donation of £500 to Children North East
Cowgate Hub, our team has come together to raise additional
funds through a series of creative events.
Our fundraising efforts have included a variety of events over
the past months. We kicked off with a Euro 24 sweepstake and
followed that with a Family Fun Day at Shotton Grange, where
team members enjoyed activities such as “Name the Teddy” and
“Guess the Sweets in the Jar.”
Later in the year, a Halloween Cake Sale and a combined
Christmas Jumper and Festive Treats Sale, along with a
Christmas Hamper Raf昀氀e, further boosted our support. In
addition to these events, an extra donation of £400 was made
in lieu of Christmas cards, boosting our overall support to an
impressive total of £1,327.
To conclude a successful year fundraising for Children North
East, by way of an in-kind donation, our team lent their design
expertise pro-bono to create a welcoming garden at the front
entrance of the Graingerville Building. In collaboration with
Glenkemp Landscape Architects, the design features a winding
path that invites visitors to explore the garden, a quiet seating
area for relaxation and socialising, and a wild昀氀ower meadow
displayed behind a Corten steel and timber retaining wall.
The team deliver donations for the Cowgate Family Hub
Christmas Jumper and Festive Treats Sale
