Fundraising for us
Fundraising for Bright is a great way to give back to Northumbria NHS – your patients, colleagues, and communities that we all serve.
We’d be honoured to have your support, which contributes to the enhancement of the patient experience and well-being of our staff.
You can fundraise alongside your team, with friends and family, or on your own – the choice is yours.
As a registered charity Bright relies on donations to undertake a variety of projects to enrich the experience of our patients and promote the health and well-being of our staff and local communities.
It is only through the kindness, generosity and hard work of our supporters raising vital funds that we are able to do more and more each year.
We’ve partnered with Run for Charity to give you access to some of the nation’s best running events and beyond.
