On Sunday Emma ran the Great North Run for local charity Arts 4 Wellbeing. A huge number of local residents and businesses have sponsored Emma so far, helping her to raise hundreds of pounds for the charity.
But although the Run is over there is still time to donate. You can sponsor Emma by by calling into Arts 4 Wellbeing or her office at Ede House in Westoe Road where sponsor forms are available.

Arts 4 Wellbeing has supported people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and mental health difficulties in South Shields for two decades. The charity helps its users through its arts and crafts activities.
Emma said:
“I’m really honoured by the great response I’ve had from the community. Arts 4 Wellbeing is a fantastic charity and I know that people’s generous contributions will make a great help.
“Thank you so much to everyone who donated, and thanks to everybody who turned out on the day. The Great North Run is always a highlight for South Shields and this year was better than ever.”
