Fundraising for The Great North Children's Hospital and The Children's Heart Unit Fund

Explain Research is raising money for Newcastle Hospitals Charity

Heroes on the Hospital Walls · 10 April 2026

The Great North Childrens Hospital Foundation funds equipment, projects and innovations that allows our staff to really make a difference to children, young people and their families.

Story

Kim, Graeme, Liz, Ashley, Charlie, Megan, Archie & Kai are taking on an unforgettable challenge to support children and families facing some of the toughest battles of their lives. Our team is joining CHUF and The Great North Children’s Hospital Fund’s 'Heroes on the Hospital Walls' corporate abseil, bravely stepping over the edge of the Great North Children’s Hospital and descending nearly 70ft, all to raise vital funds for the Children’s Heart Unit at the Freeman Hospital and the Great North Children’s Hospital.

Every donation, big or small, helps these charities to provide life‑changing equipment, facilities, and experiences for seriously ill children and their families. These funds make hospital stays less frightening, support pioneering care, and bring moments of joy when they’re needed most.

Please support us if you can and together, we can help children fight their toughest battles.

Thank you!
