Local Charity Day: Thursday 2 April 2026

End of Term Charity Day – Your Vote Matters!
On Thursday 2nd April, we’re inviting all children to take part in a non-uniform day to celebrate the end of term and support a fantastic cause. All children wearing non-uniform on this day are asked to make a suggested voluntary contribution of £1 on the day.
At Lemington Riverside we like to do things a bit differently, instead of supporting big national fundraising events, we’re proud to focus on local charities making a real difference in our community.
Families can vote for one of three incredible charities, and all money raised on the day will go to the charity with the most votes!
Children’s Cancer North
Supporting children and families affected by cancer for over 40 years, this charity funds ground-breaking research, provides vital family support, and raises awareness of childhood cancer across the North East and Cumbria.
Children’s Heart Unit Fund (CHUF)
Helping children with heart conditions and their families, CHUF supports life-saving equipment, pioneering research, and holistic care to ensure every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
Children North East
Working to improve the lives of babies, children and young people, this charity provides mental health support, family services, and community programmes to help children feel safe, supported and confident.
