On Thursday 11th September, Stiller Warehousing & Distribution was honoured to be named winners of the Corporate Charity Partnership Award North East 2025 at the North East Charity Awards, held at The Fed in Gateshead.
Winning this award is a moment of real pride for everyone at Stiller. It reflects not only the strength of our partnership with The Children’s Foundation, but also the difference the Baby Box Project continues to make for families across the region. Taking home this recognition has given us the chance to reflect on the journey so far and the impact that working together can have.
A Partnership with Purpose
The Corporate Charity Partnership Award North East with The Children’s Foundation shines a spotlight on a charity dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of children and young people across the region.
Our collaboration began back in 2017 when we became involved in the Baby Box Project, an initiative designed to give vulnerable first-time parents a stronger, safer start with the essentials they need to care for their new arrivals.
Since then, the partnership has gone from strength to strength. At Stiller, we’ve been able to use our facilities to assemble, pack, store, and ship every single Baby Box. More than just a logistics solution, it’s a way of putting our resources to work for a cause that makes a real and lasting difference in our communities.
The Impact of the Baby Box Project
The feedback we hear from families is both humbling and powerful. Vulnerable parents have shared comments such as,
“For the first time I feel seen, valued, and cared for”.
For us, that speaks volumes about the impact of this project and why winning the Corporate Charity Partnership Award North East 2025 means so much.
Each Baby Box represents more than just practical support. It symbolises reassurance, compassion, and a message to parents that they are not alone as they begin one of life’s most important journeys.
More Than an Award
This achievement is about much more than a title. It is recognition of the collective effort that has gone into making this project thrive, and it reinforces our commitment to the work still ahead.
We’re ready to take the partnership further, helping The Children’s Foundation reach even more families across the region. With every Baby Box we assemble, pack, store, and ship, we know we are playing a small part in making a big difference.
Thank You…
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to:
- The Children’s Foundation for trusting us as a partner on this journey.
- Our dedicated Stiller team, whose hard work makes the logistics of the Baby Box Project possible.
- Everyone involved in the North East Charity Awards for shining a light on the power of collaboration between charities and businesses.
This Corporate Charity Partnership Award North East with The Children’s Foundation belongs as much to all of you as it does to us.
Looking Ahead
The journey doesn’t stop here.
We’re excited to continue building on the success of the Baby Box Project with The Children’s Foundation, and we remain committed to using our facilities and expertise to support causes that make a real difference in the North East.
The award is a milestone we’ll always remember, but it’s the impact on families that will continue to drive us forward.
