Fundraising

 

 

Northlands is a registered charity and consequently we have to raise a proportion of our income to enable us to continue to support and help all those who come for help with alcohol and drug problems.

We are grateful to all those individuals, businesses, schools, groups and volunteers who have made donations or held fundraising events on our behalf over the years.

 

If you would be willing to organise a fundraising event to benefit Northlands please send an email to nuala@northlands.org.uk
