Standby Healthcare are our official 2025 Run Partner

Specialist recruiter Standby Healthcare have teamed up with us to support our running events this year.

This year is certainly a big one for keen runners!

We’re thrilled to announce that Standby Healthcare will be supporting our #TeamPercyHedley runners for both RunThrough’s Morpeth 10k and AJ Bell’s Great North Run this year.

Standby have been a longstanding supporter of the Percy Hedley Foundation, and we’re so excited to be working with them again for these exciting events. As our official run partner, Standby Healthcare will provide branded running vests and welcome packs for all supporters. They will also be present at the events to cheer on the participants from the start line and beyond!

Alex Williams, director of Standby Healthcare said:

“We’re excited to be the Percy Hedley Foundation’s official Run Partner for 2025. Every participant in these events is not only achieving a personal milestone but also supporting an incredible cause. The Percy Hedley Foundation plays a crucial role in supporting individuals with disabilities across the North East, and fundraising will help ensure they can continue their invaluable work.” 

John Preston, chief executive of the Percy Hedley Foundation added:

“It’s fantastic to have Standby Healthcare leading as our Run Partner this year. As a key recruiter in the care sector, they truly understand the importance firsthand of providing quality care. Their support for these running events will help us in continuing the high-quality care we provide to our members. We’re so grateful for their ongoing commitment.” 

15th June – Morpeth 10k

Back for a second year, this scenic route takes runners through the iconic landmarks of the market town. It poses serious PB potential for both seasoned runners and beginners alike.

7th September – Great North Run

The famed Great North Run spans 13.1 miles, taking runners through Newcastle to South Shields. Completing this is no easy feat, but the rewards are immense!

With Standby Healthcare and Team Percy Hedley on your side, you’ll be taking part in something that truly makes a difference.

We provide each member of #TeamPercyHedley with:

✔️A dedicated fundraising support team
✔️A Percy Hedley running vest
✔️Training tips and encouragement

Thank you to Standby Healthcare for your continued support – let’s do this!
