The Junction Foundation is ACEDA’s 2025 charity of the year. In order to raise some vital funds and spread awareness, some members of the ACEDA team are each aiming to ‘Walk 100 Miles in October’ which equates to just under 10,000 steps per day.

The Junction Foundation is a well-respected charity, based in Tees Valley supporting children, young people (up to the age of 25) and families with additional challenges.

Their services are delivered through six key areas:

• Children and Young People’s Mental Health

• Emotional Wellbeing, Youth Employment

• Young Carers’

• Youth Services

• Specialist Children and Young People’s Transport

• Multibank

Any funds raised are greatly appreciated and do make a difference to young people’s lives within the Tees Valley area.

**GOOD LUCK TEAM ACEDA!**
