We are proud to announce that Standby Healthcare is our 2024 Great North Run Sponsor! 

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare recruitment, Standby Healthcare is a trusted temporary supply agency that truly understands clients’ and candidates’ challenges, needs, and motivations.

Speaking about the sponsorship, Standby Healthcare said:

“We’re passionate about providing our clients with more than just solutions for their services, we want to directly give back to and uplift the communities we work with. Sponsoring the Percy Hedley Foundation for the Great North Run was another way we could achieve this and is something we’re thrilled to be able to do.”

 

They’ve been with us through out the whole Great North Run journey!

As sponsors they are a great help for this year’s half marathon, you will see them both at the tent and participating in the run. Their logo features on our exclusive #TeamPercyHedley running vests, which you can see in the photo below.

With artwork by Lines Behind and designs on both the front and back, these feature both our signature purple and green colours, and our mission. The front has our logo alongside Standby Healthcare’s as well as our statement of Inspire, Believe, Achieve. The back has both logos, text which says Our Mission Is To Inspire Positive Change alongside some key Geordie messages like Divent Give Up. These will also be used for the 2024 Mini/Junior Great North, which Standby Healthcare are also sponsoring, however these will have sleeves instead.

You may have seen some of the Standby Healthcare team at our coffee morning at Sands of Tyne this month, where they helped to hand out the vests to our runners.

We can’t wait to see #TeamPercyHedley wearing the vests on September 8th!

Members of Standby Healthcare also recently visited Northern Counties School where they met our Bamburgh class who will also be taking part in September. They participated in a short run with the learners, as well as chatting to them and finding out their motivations as to why they’re doing the half-marathon.

Standby Healthcare have been supporting us in numerous ways through the years, including being a sponsor at our annual Ball, and participating in our Golf Day this year.

We want to thank Standby Healthcare again for sponsoring the 2024 Great North Run and look forward to our future endeavours!
