As part of our Every Step campaign, we’re asking you to take 30,000 steps for the 30,000 children cared for at The Great North Children’s Hospital (GNCH) each year.

The journey into our Great North Children’s Hospital community begins with a single step. Thanks to our supporters, we’re able to walk that journey together with our patients and their families every step of the way.

Be part of it – set yourself a challenge to take 30,000 steps during 30 days or one month for the 30,000 children cared for at The Great North Children’s Hospital each year.

You can choose how to split your steps in the month. Whether you take 1,000 steps every day or more steps on the weekends, the challenge is yours to personalise.

By taking part in this challenge, you will be helping to fund a range of projects to make children and their families hospital experience the best it possibly can be.

If you sign up, you’ll receive:

  • Online giving page
  • Digital fundraising pack
  • Free Great North Children’s Hospital pencil

We ask our fundraisers to pledge to raise £100. All proceeds will go towards supporting children and their families undergoing treatment at The Great North Children’s Hospital.

If you raise £50 or more within the first two weeks of your challenge, you could receive an exclusive GNCH t-shirt. Limited stock, so don’t miss out!

Together, let’s step for our young patients, their families and our staff at The Great North Children’s Hospital.
