🌊🚣♀️ On 27th September we’re Taking on the NE1 Dragon Boat Race – And Supporting a Worthy Cause! 🧡
We’re excited to be paddling for a purpose at the NE1 Dragon Boat Race 2025, and this year, we’re proud to be raising funds for the Great North Children’s Hospital – one of the largest and most vital children’s hospitals in the UK.
Thousands of children and young people from across the North East, Cumbria, and beyond rely on the incredible care and specialist services at GNCH. And with your help, we can make a real difference.
💡 Here’s how your donation can help:
£25 = A Chemo Duck toy to help a child understand cancer treatment through play
£50 = Funds vital research into childhood illnesses
£255 = Supports creative art workshops for young patients
£360 = Provides practical and financial advice for families in hospital
£1,354 = Buys a gaming kart to distract and comfort children during treatment
We’ve already kick-started our support by entering the race — a portion of our entry fee goes directly to the hospital — but we want to do even more 💪
👉 Please consider donating to our team’s fundraising page:

Every pound makes a difference, and your generosity helps brighten a child’s stay in hospital.
Thank you for supporting our team and our local children’s hospital — we can’t wait to hit the water and race for a reason! 🚣♂️💙
