Support Team Robinson at the Great North Run 2026
Although Niall left PHS in 2017 we, his family continue to support school via the GNR. We need the support of the school community to help us reach the target set of £750 by our fundraising team. As Niall and I have supported them at the charity village for many years I know that the costs to us of being there are high.
This year, the team has grown to 3 as my soon to be son-in-law joins the team. Please consider a small (we won’t refuse a large one either) donation to their just giving page. The funds raised will directly benefit ALL students via the FoPHS. We hope to raise £750. Thanks for reading and here is the link to their page:
