In Support of Bubble Foundation

We're delighted to have the Bubble Foundation join us again as our 2027 Charity of the Year. The charity supports children with life-threatening immune conditions on Ward 3 at the Great North Children’s Hospital. For these children, even a common cold can be deadly. From the moment they are diagnosed, they must be protected from everyday threats. Join their team of fantastic fundraisers at the start line and together we can make a real difference.
