My Mammy works for the awesome charity, Citizens Advice Gateshead and I know they do a lot to help others near where I live. So I am running in the Mini great North Run this year for them. I would love it if you could sponsor me and help raise them some money to help other children and their families

Thank you Love Bertie x

  Dig Deep 2021 is about raising the money we need to help Gateshead families to not just survive, but to turn their lives around.When 1 in 5 children in Gateshead are living in poverty, life expectancy for people living in poorer wards is as much as 15 years less than average, and we're facing escalating deaths from substance mis-use, an insatiable demand for food banks, charity and mental health services, it really is time to act.At Citizens Advice Gateshead we have committed to doing everything in our power to stand up for equality and strive for a fair society for all, with lives well lived. It's rare that people will turn down support when it's offered to them, but with an almost daily increase in demand for our charitable services, and continually diminishing funds, although we have the know-how we are restricted by the practical capacity we need to really make a difference.
