On 9th September I will be running in the Great North Run in order to raise much needed funds for a local charity ESCAPE Family Support.
ESCAPE Family Support (charitable status 1063500) was founded in 1995 by Janet Murphy MBE. For more than 2 decades the charity has worked hard to develop services that fill gaps in local provision and add value to commissioned services. ESCAPE provides services to families and carers of substance use in Northumberland through their family support project; services to substance users through their recovery project; accredited and evidence based training and interventions; and volunteering and peer mentoring opportunities through dedicated peer, volunteer and client training projects.
This charity has made a tangible difference to many vulnerable families in Northumberland and any support that can be offered is very gratefully received.
I am hoping to raise at least £250 through running the Great North Run for this charity, if you can make a donation, please do.
