Support Dan Newton in the Great North Run 2026

The Specialist Bladder and Bowel Nurses are part of the Children’s Community Services Fundraising Team therefore I have chosen this as my chosen charity when running my 1st Great North Run this year.

We want to improve the experience of our hospital for our patients by purchasing extra equipment or training which will make the difference. If you wish to support a particular ward or department, please state which one in your message and our finance team will ensure it goes to the right place.

Story

Their vision is to improve Neurodivergent children‘s experiences when accessing appointments at Dunston Health Centre.

The Bladder and Bowel Nurses were presented the North East Autism ACCEPTANCE GOLD Award in 2025 and continue to fundraise to continue to improve the clinic environment for not only autistic children who use their service, but also all children and families who access DUNSTON Health Centre for their Community Children Nurses, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy and Podiatry appointments.

The current projects they are fundraising for are to develop and maintain 2 sensory flower gardens in front of Dunston Health Centre to provide a better patient experiences and a "breathing space" before children enter the building to reduce stress and anxiety before their appointments·to design and equip a Quiet/ Sensory Room in the waiting area that any child can access which will provide a controlled, calming environment that helps reduces anxiety, manages sensory overload, and improves the overall patient experience when attending medical appointment at the centre.

There are a lot of charities asking for your support during this time so if you choose to support me and this charity I thank you.
