Appeal For Great North Runners To Support
The Customs House
Have you secured your place
for the Great North Run?
If the answer’s yes and
you’re now looking for a charity to support, please consider running in aid of
The Customs House Trust Ltd – the charity behind The Customs House. The arts and entertainment
venue is situated less than two miles away from the run’s famous finishing line
on The Leas in South Shields. The Great North Run
celebrates its 40th anniversary on Sunday 13th September 2020.
Last year, staff and
supporters raised more than £5,000 for The Customs House Trust in its 25th
year, with Executive Director Ray Spencer donning his panto costume and running
the 13.1-mile race from Newcastle to South Shields as Dame Bella.
He was joined by on-stage son
Davey Hopper, who plays Arbuthnot, who also completed the route in costume, and
14 others, including actors Steven Lee Hamilton, Luke Maddison and Kylie Ann
Ford and trustee Darren Hymers.
Marie Campbell, development
officer at The Customs House, said: “Unfortunately we don’t have any of our own
places this year, so we would love to hear from anyone who would like to run on
our behalf. We’ll provide you with a
T-shirt and help promote your fundraising efforts and you’ll have the
satisfaction of knowing you’ve not only completed the race, but also raised
money for a local charity supporting the arts and young people in South
Tyneside.”
