StreetSmart raises thousands for homeless charities every year during November and December. Since StreetSmart was established in 1999, it has raised over £3million for over 90 different homeless charities.

How Does it Work?

The beauty of StreetSmart is its simplicity. It is an innovative, easy fundraising scheme which works during the holiday months when people begin to think about those less fortunate than themselves.

It works by us adding a voluntary £1 to each table bill at the end of the meal during the months of November and December. At the end of each month, we pass on the total money raised to StreetSmart who then use all of those £1s to support reputable charities in Newcastle.
