Support The People's Kitchen in the Great North Run 2023

The Great North Run is just around the corner and we are once again getting involved!

We have a team of Volunteers, Friends and Supporters running for us this year. Last year a group of 30 incredible individuals took part in the 13.1 mile run for our organisation and ran their socks off to help raise a whopping £10,000 through sponsorships.

We’re hoping to raise even more this coming year and would love your support, no matter small. The funds we raise will go such a long way in the coming months, helping us to continue being there for our Friends, providing a warm welcome, food, and friendship.

One of our volunteers is actually running in donated clothing, carrying a rucksack with a sleeping bag and some toiletries inside. They said: “Some of our Friends have to carry everything with them every day, the least I can do is do it for 13.1 miles to try and raise some money to help.”

Should you choose to support us, your donation will go directly to ensuring Newcastle’s homeless and vulnerable people have somewhere they can go to be warm, clean, clothed, and provided with a hot meal and friendship. We provide 250-300 meals each day, 365 days of the year. We run entirely with volunteers and receive no government funding whatsoever.

If you’d like to show your support to our incredible runners, you can do so via our GNR JustGiving Page.
