We cover family poverty, women's refuge, ex military, elderly and offer support. We can also help with furniture to food parcels and basic needs. We also proud to be supporting the children safe guarding team who have a huge task on there hands so we help as much as possible and help provide 100s of children and parents with food,gifts,furnishings etc this is along with our big Christmas appeal every year.
How it all started
Making a difference
123 help4family's was originally set up as a Christmas appeal as we seen a lot of family's on low income jobs and where struggling, so we decided we would cover everything so they had no worries or stress. We decided we would give the Christmas dinner with all trimmings, a treat box, gifts for all the family including kids and mam and dad, we also filled the cupboards with tins and long life food. This was very personal to us. Now we offer so much more from help, to food also furniture as our sponsor is our business 123clearance and they donate all the furniture plus lots more. We are based in crook area and cover our region.

Who is 123 help4family's and why
123 help4family's was set up by Shaun Emerson and his godmother Linda Mears. We see many charity's out there but they where all mostly for themselves and taking big wages etc so we decided enough was enough we set up our own and we will help direct to source and on a personal level. We don't take any wages and 100% of all donations go directly to the people who need it.
We will never take a wage as the meaning of charity is exactly that.
It breaks our hearts seeing what we see in this day and age with working parents not knowing where there at or where there next meal comes from and allot of parents are working 2 jobs and not eating themselves to try there best to feed their kids.
Then there is the abusive side of things With children and domestic abuse so we help and support the children's safe guarding team in co Durham with any kind of support they need from food to furniture etc.
we could go on and on and this could all be fixed very easily if all charities actually worked as a charity and give everything back to the people that need it instead of taking huge wages and administering costs.
Shaun has been involved in rehoming ex military vets and domestic abuse victims and also children for over 10 years now before setting up this CIC charity as he owns a clearance business So has allot of excess furniture etc so it was a perfect thing to add. Linda also has done a lot over many years for all types of charities and doing appeals when there is natural disasters to local charitie events.
As much as we would desperately love to help every single person we know this is not possible as we are just a tiny fish in the huge ocean of charities but believe us we will give it our best.
Our Vision
Anything Is Possible
Our Vision is very simple, we want to help as many vulnerable and struggling people as we possibly can. We want them to know there is still good out there and people who care, we want them to have that feeling that they are someone and will bounce back and hopefully when they get back on there feet they will help others who are in need. Also for the Christmas appeal no child should wake up without a gift and no parent should be crying on Christmas Eve about not having a Christmas lunch or gifts for there family.

We can also help people who have been on benefits from loss of job or illnesses, family's who have someone in there family who has an illness. We can also help elderly. Also ex military we can help with furniture rehoming and work closely with changing steps North East which is an ex military charity.

We know this year is catastrophic to many many familys and we know this task is huge and maybe impossible but we cant just sit back and watch so we will give it our best go.
We also support the children safe guarding team and provide them with as much help as they need for there most vulnerable family's.
