The UK’s leading children’s charity - the NSPCC - was joined by some of the region’s top business leaders and celebrity guest Schak for an evening of awareness raising to help prevent child abuse in the North East.

The first ever NSPCC North East Network took place at the Ouseburn’s latest entertainment venue and event space, The Grove, which also saw a live performance from Tyneside pop soul singer Beth Macari and attendance from the likes of Ward Hadaway, UK manufacturer Happy Feet Play Mats and the Tyneside video animators, Honeypot Creative.

NSPCC keynote speakers - including people from Childline, the charity’s flagship counselling service for children - fundraising professionals and members of its school services team, informed guests how they keep children safe and how they can be listened to, but warned there is still a lot of work to be done.
