My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page in memory of our friend George "The Podge" Summerside.

We have chosen Chance to Shine to remember George as we feel it reflects his passion for both cricket and helping young people. Chance to Shine have agreed that they will 'ring fence' our donations and will give the family the choice of which project(s) they donate to. They currently have over twenty schools on their programe in the North East including two in Sunderland running disability programmes.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
