"We are delighted to be Patrons of Just for Kids especially for the chance to give something back to the area in which Ant and I grew up. The region is very close to our hearts and we are sure that thousands of children will benefit from the generosity of the people of the North East.

We are both very aware of the need to offer young people support and opportunities to help them achieve their potential. Just for Kids recognises where these needs lie and we would encourage all local children’s charities to see just how they could be given a helping hand.

It is important to us that when we put our names to something we do it long term and make the effort to show our support.

It always means a lot to us when we are able to help children’s charities, especially Just for Kids as all the money raised stays in the North East."
