We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the help of volunteer fundraisers.
Whether it’s running, swimming, dancing or baking – it all makes a difference.
You can find out more about being a fundraiser on this page.
There are lots of ways you can raise money.
You could do a sponsored walk, pack bags at your local supermarket or host a karaoke night.
One of our fundraisers even runs long distances with a wheelie bin strapped to his back! We’ll support almost any idea if it’s safe, legal and fits our values.
Stuck for ideas? We can help. We organise regular events and sometimes have places at things like the Great North Run.
We will help you as much as we can.

Hear from one of our fundraisers
Deano Franciosy is also known as the Wheelie Bin Man. He has been raising money for our Integrated Critical Care Unit (ICCU) for more than 10 years.
The Unit cared for his mam. He said: “My memories are there and my heart is with the ICCU at the Sunderland Royal. The staff were unbelievable with my mam.”
He has packed bags in shops, ran up and down hills with weights and now runs with a wheelie bin strapped to his back! He’s even done the Great North Run.
We are very grateful for all of Dean’s hard work over the years. The money he has raised has helped the unit to get new equipment, things to help us with training and helped us improve our patient spaces.
