Donations cannot currently be made to this page

BUPA Great North Run 2009 · 20 September 2009 ·

Established in 1981, the Newman Holiday Trust began by running a one week summer holiday for children with special needs. The Trust now provides holidays for about 130 children with special needs aged four to sixteen each year, in various locations around the UK. Due to the high level of skilled care they require or financial circumstances, the children selected for these breaks would not otherwise receive a holiday. The holidays provide a range of fun activities in a safe and supportive environment and use a care ration of one helper to one child at all times. The Trust is an entirely voluntary organization and owes its success to over 200 people who dedicate their free time to helping these children. This voluntary structure ensures that every penny raised goes directly towards a child's holiday.

Story

Hello and welcome!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I am doing the Great North Run on the 20th September this year and would really appreciate it if you helped me out to raise lots of money for this wonderful charity. I've been on many holidays with the Newman Trust and know that all money is spent in a great way.

The Trust now provides holidays for over 120 disabled children aged 5-16 each year, in various locations around the UK. Due to the high level of skilled care they require or financial circumstances, the children selected for these breaks would not otherwise receive a holiday. The holidays provide a range of fun activities in a safe and supported environment and use a care ratio of one helper to one child at all times.

The Trust is an entirely voluntary organisation. The voluntary structure ensures that every penny raised goes directly towards a child’s holiday.

Many thanks for your support.
