Thank you for visiting our fundraising page! This is the first year that Newcastle University has been involved with READ International and it is set to be a very exciting one!

* Before Christmas 60 volunteers threw themselves off the Tyne Bridge in aid of READ. It was an amazing day and a true challenge for most. Please keep the sponsorship rolling in, and check out the video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwO42tqMKrw

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: READ International gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
