Story
SHINE Fund is the official charity of Cumbria, Northumberland,
Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW). I have worked for the Trust as an OT in neurological rehabilitation for 17 years. This is my first ever Great North Run and first half marathon!
SHINE stands for Support, Hope, Inspire, Nurture and
Empower. The funding from SHINE helps to provide ‘little extras’ for service users – therapeutic activities or items of comfort to assist with people’s care, treatment or rehabilitation, generally helping towards them living a happier, fuller life.
