Maggie's Newcastle

This week’s Friday Fundraiser are Laura ‘Darmo’ and the team at Birtley Town Ladies First Team who raised an amazing £3,333.33 for Maggie's and at their ‘Darmo’s Charity Match’🧡
Following her diagnosis, Laura organised a fantastic community football event to raise awareness and give back to two charities that mean so much to her.

Laura said: "In the last year, beating cancer was the main goal, but having this event to really give back means the absolute world."

From players, referees and volunteers to DJs, stall holders and supporters, the event brought the football community together in a truly special way.
Thank you, Laura and everyone involved, for your incredible fundraising efforts and for helping people affected by cancer receive the support they need. 👏⚽

This week's is the wonderful William from Zumba with Will - Newcastle 🧡

You may have spotted Will in the headlines this week for all the right reasons! After collecting his GCSE results, he popped into the centre to see us and pose for a photo with our giant cheque following his incredible fundraising efforts.

Will raised an amazing £3,550 for Maggie's Newcastle through his Zumba event in July, and we couldn't be more grateful.

This is the second fundraising event Will has organised in support of Maggie's Newcastle, and it is always a pleasure to welcome both him and his mum, Belinda, to the centre.

The good news is that he's already planning his next event! Will says the 2027 event will be:

"The third and final part of the Zumbathon® trilogy, and it's going to be the biggest and best one yet!"

📅 Save the date: Sunday 18 April 2027

More details will be shared soon.

Thank you, William, for everything you do to support our centre. You are truly making a difference. 🧡
