Area committees

There are 9 area committees and they perform 2 functions:

1

To raise funds for the work of the charity.

2

To raise local awareness of the charity – if people do not know we exist, they cannot ask us for help.

Raising awareness is all about events. Events attended by people in the newstrade help cement the name and work of the charity in people’s minds. This awareness promotes our aims and links those in need to our support.

Each year we host Area Committee Awards at our AGM to recognise the work of these vital volunteers. Find out who won in 2026.

Our Area Committees are always looking for people to help them in their work, so if you would like to know more and be put in contact with your local committee email Paul Bacon at paul@newstraid.org.uk
