About Acorns Project

Welcome to Acorns Project

We deliver recovery and support services to children and young people who are affected by domestic abuse and their families, in North Tyneside and Northumberland

Did you know that around 1 in 5 children will be exposed to domestic abuse, and 1 in 5 teenagers have been abused within a relationship? (NSPCC) Of these, research has proven that around 50% will experience challenges such as poor mental health, behavioural issues, and will struggle in education because of what they have been through. If help is not offered, this can lead to poor mental and physical health in adult life.

We believe that all children deserve the best chance in life, and offer support services to raise awareness, prevent harm, and help children and young people and their families cope with and recover from their experiences.

We offer different kinds of support including:

Counselling and play therapy
One to one outreach support, in school and in community settings
Information advice and guidance including drop in services and a text helpline
Teen relationship abuse prevention, advice and support
Dedicated worker for parents/carers offering emotional and practical support
Delivery of programmes and group sessions
Partnership working with local agencies to support children and young people in crisis

Great North Run 2019

I can’t thank The Acorns Project enough for the help and support they’ve given the boys and I over the last few years. I really don’t know where we’d be without them. They are the nicest people and they have helped us put our lives back together. Genuinely couldn’t put a price on what they’ve done for us, it’s priceless, but I’d like to be able to give a little bit back to say thanks. So I’m doing the GNR! Not very fast and with no finesse, but I’ll cross that line and hopefully raise some cash for Acorns while I do it. Thank you for your support. ❤️

Edinburgh Half Marathon

Would you sponsor me to run the Edinburgh Half Marathon on Sunday 26 May please? I'm attempting to beat last year's time so aiming for a sub 1hr 50min time, which would be a Personal Best. It's a great half marathon route for PBs because it's down hill all the way - I *love* running downhill and *hate* running up hills!It's a beautiful route too, starting at Potterow, the Student Union building at Edinburgh Uni, and taking in lots of my old stomping ground including Arthur's Seat and Portobello, before heading along the coast to Preston Pans.I don't usually ask for sponsorship for my runs but I've recently joined the board of Acorns - a fantastic local charity supporting children and young people affected by domestic abuse - and would love it if you would help me raise money for them.Thank you!

What makes us wonderful?

We recognise the selfless commitment made by fundraisers who train for months to run marathons, face their fears by jumping out of aeroplanes or open their homes to the community for charity bakes and coffee mornings. We believe the charities they support should receive EVERY PENNY from their fundraising efforts.

We also believe that Gift Aid (a scheme enabling charities to reclaim tax on donations made by UK taxpayers) should be directed IN FULL to the charities. This is why the Wonderful Organisation does not generate profit (or even cover costs) by deducting money from fundraisers' sponsors or Gift Aid contributions.

We are a non-profit organisation funded entirely by like-minded, philanthropic businesses. That's what makes us wonderful!
