Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.

In a few weeks on 13 September, I'll be running the Great North Run half marathon, from Newcastle to South Shields.

My chosen charity is Dundee Bairns. The charity started out as providing a school holiday meal provision in Dundee, that filled a gap for children who may otherwise go without during the school holiday period. Over the last 10 years the charity has evolved to encompass various projects that tackle basic needs of children all over Dundee. They have developed projects to help professionals working with families to refer vulnerable children for targeted support, making sure that help goes to where it is most needed.

Some of the projects that Dundee Bairns have set up are Fun and Food, Tea Clubs, Christmas Provision, Cosy Bairns, Cooking Clubs and Bairns at Home Project. Please check out Dundee Bairns website for more information

Dundee Bairns say, 'Our vision is that all Bairns in Dundee will have their needs and rights met and will have opportunities to achieve their potential, regardless of circumstance. We deliver impactful programmes serving thousands of children annually through our food and activity provision, clothing programmes and Bairns at Home multibank'

This is my first half marathon, myself and a few other girls have been training and I am looking forward to this challenge.

I would be grateful if you could see your way to donating a little to help this very worthy Dundee charity.

Thank you

Pauline
