Fundraising
There are loads of fab ways to fundraise for Henshaws and the great thing is, nearly 97 pence in every pound that's raised goes straight into our services, which directly supports local blind and visually impaired people.
Whether you do it on your own, at work, in the community, at school or college - your support makes the difference to the people who rely on our services. And however you decide to help Henshaws North East - we can't thank you enough!

North East Fundraising News
- Get in touch if you want to run the Great North Run 2009 for Henshaws North East. Places run out fast (and hopefully you will too!) so get in touch!
- How about trying the Great North Swim - it takes place on 12-13 September 2009 in the Lake District. The 1 mile open water swim is open to all over the age of 16 - please get in touch if you are feeling brave!
- We are looking for car owners to place empty collection boxes in local businesses, and pick them up when they're full. We need people who can do this a few times a year.
THANK YOU!
