"A lot of people care, but they don't understand.
When I come here, they understand."
Great North Run 2026
Run for us!
We are excited to have been offered a limited number of charity places for the Great North Run in 2026 - our local half marathon and one of the most high profile running events in the world!
-
Do you want to be one of this year's 60,000 runners and raise funds to support a local charity?
-
Can you commit to raising at least £300 (and hopefully more)?!
-
Will you be aged 17 or over before 13 September 2026?
By running and fundraising for us you will enable us to continue to offer our unique free nature-based counselling groups for local men living with long term poor mental health.
We'd love to have you on board. Please register your interest below and we will be in touch to let you know if you have been allocated a place.
