WE DID IT!!

It certainly wasn't easy but along with a fantastic group of Newcastle United Foundation (NUF) supporters we made it to the summit of Mount Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa's Atlas mountain range, to raise essential funds for the NUF.

NUF uses the power of football to connect, motivate and inspire people in our region. Through community, education, health and wellbeing, and sports programmes delivered across Newcastle, Northumberland, North Tyneside, Gateshead and County Durham, they strive to improve physical and mental health, boost learning and career prospects and provide life-changing opportunities for everyone – no matter their goals in life.

As the need for access to sessions and activity becomes greater, so does the cost to cover this. NUF currently needs around £90,000 to help do this! The more money NUF can raise, the more families they can support- and they hope you will join them in raising the awareness and funds to support this vital service.

NUF is something I have been involved with and supported for a number of years and to be invited to take part in this event along with a fantastic group of fellow supporters was a tremendous honour! It will no doubt be a challenge but also an experience to remember.
