Today I am watching friends and family members running in the Great North Run, thousands will take part many supporting their favourite charity. Millions of pound will be generated to support a wide variety of charities from small family charities to large organisation such as Macmillan, NSPCC and Alzheimer's.

In amongst the 57 thousand there must be Volleyball players taking part. In the last GNR over £23million was raised for charities.

As someone who has volleyball as an important part of your life, would you like to take part in an event and be sponsored on behalf of the Volleyball England Foundation? As an organisation we are dependent on donations from our community to enable us to continue to support our volleyball family in many different ways.

As we head to Christmas, I know too early, don’t forget you can support by buying things through Amazon Smile or through Easy Fundraising.
