A Night Under the Stars: Our First Charity Ball ✨

Saturday evening marked a milestone for The Junction as we hosted our very first Charity Ball, and what an incredible night it was. The room was filled with warmth, passion, and a shared commitment to ensuring no child or young person in Tees Valley struggles alone.

Running a charity often means navigating challenges and uncertainty, but this event was a powerful reminder that people care—they just need the opportunity to show it. And those in the room, showed it in abundance. Their presence and generosity helped raise vital funds of over £14,000 that allow us to respond flexibly to the needs of children, young people, and families.

Events like this are only possible thanks to corporate sponsorship and support, as we operate with no dedicated event budget. A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors: Amazon, Cleveland Cable Company, Hellens Group, Arup, Cygnet Law, Darlington College, Darlington Building Society, Palletline, Halo Project, Banks Group, and especially Altrad Integrity Services for sponsoring the event. Your belief in our mission makes these moments happen.  We will be doing it all again next year so watch this space!

Together, we are building a Tees Valley where everyone belongs.
