KNW Charity Walk in aid of the Sunshine Fund
On Saturday 15th October KNW Staff, Management and families undertook a sponsored
walk in aid of The Sunshine Fund. The walk started from our current head office
Charlotte Square, in the centre of town and finished at our new head office at
Benfield business. The Fantastic weather made for an enjoyable and Successful day.
The Sunshine Fund
A specialised fund in the North East of England that aims to enhance the lives of local disabled children and their families through the provision of essential equipment,
learning aids and custom built apparatus.
The charity is unique in its bond with the Evening Chronicle, the region's biggest
selling daily newspaper and enjoys a special place in the hearts of the paper's
readers. The sunshine fund was established in 1928 by King George V during his visit
to Tyneside.
To commemorate the opening of the Tyne Bridge, he made small donation to give
children a day out to the coast. The Evening Chronicle adopted the fund and in
1995 it was granted charitable status.
Since then the £1 million has been provided for essential equipment, learning aids
and custom-built apparatus to improve the quality of children's live across the
region.
KNW would like to thank the following as well as KNW staff and families for their help,
support and donations.
We would also like to thank all those people that kindly donated
during the walk.
