Kim’s Great North Run 2024

Story

After saying never again, here I am, running the Great North Run.

As North East Mayor I’m committed to fighting poverty and creating opportunity in our great North East. My chosen charities are doing exactly those things every single day.

Feeding Families fight food poverty and insecurity across the North East with lovingly packed boxes that provide food, hope and support to those that need it most and that too often fall through the cracks. Their mission is to be a part of a change that makes it so they aren‘t needed anymore. Feeding Families

Feeding Families

Feeding Families is an exciting grass roots movement of people inspired to donate food hampers to families in food poverty at Christmas. Through one post on social media to find a family to give a hamper to as an act of kindness, over 200 people initially responded to give or receive. This number rapidly grew into a dynamic movement where families connect and come together to achieve an outstanding act of generosity. Many families are offered the lifeline of food and relief from their circumstances at the most pressured time of year by volunteers who freely give their resources to a specific family . This in turn has an uplifting effect on the donors, who feel they have personally changed lives and given hope.

Smart Works Newcastle

We support North East women into employment through the power of high quality interview clothing and coaching. A two hour appointment at Smart Works Newcastle can give women the confidence, to fulfil their potential, get the job, and transform the trajectory of their lives. Our service can be accessed by all women who are unemployed, aged 16+ and based in the North East. We operate on a referral basis, partnering with organisations and charities to provide our services to women with upcoming interviews, as well as offering one-to-one career coaching to any woman who can benefit from it. The centre is run by a close-knit staff team of 5 who are supported by over 40 dedicated volunteers and trustees.
