At The Sunshine Fund, we're committed to providing the best opportunities for the babies, children and young people we support in the North East, and removing barriers that may prevent them from reaching their full potential. 

 

Whether this is through funding life-changing pieces of equipment, providing access to inclusive and accessible activities and events, or offering support and guidance to families navigating their own personal journeys.

​

In 2025, we grew our Great North Run campaign by 50%, and our vision for 2026 is to take it even further. We aim to make The Sunshine Fund's presence bigger and better as we approach our 100th anniversary, and our ethos of uniting kids with their equipment as quickly as possible remains as strong as ever.

 

By running for Team Sunshine, you know that everything you raise will stay in the North East region, making a direct difference to local communities. We are proud to be able to tell you exactly where your donations have gone, and you can share that pride knowing you've helped a child, or multiple children, live a more comfortable, more fulfilling life.
