EARL'S XMAS GIVING 2024

Hi my name is Earl John Charlton

I was born in South Shields and made on the streets. I went through the care home system as a child & was homeless not hopeless.

After hitch-hiking to London as a teen I became caught up in a life of addiction and crime.

I have not only survived my past life, but have gone on to do something worthwhile for others. I'm very honest about my journey, i want to help others going through the same journey. I've set up Earls Xmas Giving to support all the children who will be in care homes in the North East this Xmas - I don't want any child in the care system to wake up on Xmas morning to just a pair of socks.
