As part of our Fundraising activities, we have a dedicated team who aim to organise regular varied events to raise our profile and understanding in the community of what we are trying to achieve as well as a welcome boost to our funds.
We have 5 places in this year's world renowned Great North Run which is a fantastic opportunity to do something great to help others.
Our annual Burns Night this year took place at Consett Association Football Club. Due to Storm Eowyn the original night on 24th January was postponed and the event was held two weeks later. A big thanks to all the staff at the Football club, especially Frank, to John the piper and to all our generous supporters who attended or donated.
We were delighted to confirm that a grand total of £1500 was raised on the night and will go towards helping more people who find themselves without a home.
Phil & Caroline joined over 50 people in Sunderland at the Stadium of Light for a night experiencing sleeping rough alongside others from businesses across the North East.
We were delighted 10 people joined our Core Foundations team on the night. Caroline said “The hardest thing wasn’t the cold, surprisingly, it the hard concrete floors, its just impossible to sleep on them!” Our target was to raise £80000 but we smashed this at £10,500 through very generous sponsors. Thank you!
