North East Charity Awards 2015
VONNE has partnered with The Journal and The Gazette to launch the North East Charity Awards 2015.
The North East Charity Awards 2015 are designed to recognise the hard work and innovative thinking by our local charities and individual fundraisers, whilst also celebrating the support of local businesses and employees who help raise vital funds to support the work of our charities.
The winners were announced at a glittering ceremony on 8th October 2015 at the Gosforth Marriott Hotel in Newcastle with over 400 guests attending.
