Norah's North Pole

There are so many children in our community who will not receive a single Christmas present this year. After successfully delivering 13,876 Santa sacks over the past 6 years Norah's North Pole are committed to sprinkling a little Christmas kindness again this year and they need your help. The Norah's North Pole elves work with schools and social teams to get Santa sacks to the most vulnerable children in the North East.

You can help us on our mission by donating gifts for children of all ages. Santa Sacks are made of donated presents which the Norah's North Pole elves hand deliver. All we ask is the items are new, every child deserves their very own present this Christmas.

There are a number of secure drop off points where donations can be made or alternatively there is a Norah's North Pole Amazon list, or delivery address if you would rather shop online and have the donations delivered. For more information contact @Norahs_North_Pole on Instagram or search Norah's North Pole on Facebook.

We have a list of children from schools around the North East, we pack over the weekend of the 11th and 12th and then distribute to the schools and social workers over the following week. Over the past 6 years, we have perfected our elf production process with lots of magic sprinkled throughout.

The funds raised will be spent on the following:

* Santa Sacks to fill with donations.

* Chocolate selection box for each of the Santa Sacks

* To fill gaps in the donations - if a specific age range or sex does not have enough gifts to fill their bags, we will use the funds to buy gifts for those bags - typically older boys and older girls are missed off the lists.

* Some of our Norah's North Pole children don't have the basics never mind Christmas presents. We will put together food parcels to go with the Santa sacks for those who will not have enough food this Christmas. We work with local food banks and charities to collaborate on families who find themselves in desperate positions.

*Santa sacks to fill with gifts.

*Soft toys, we make sure each child has a soft toy in their Santa sack to provide comfort over Christmas.
