Support the Ellis Lake Foundation

Every day, families find themselves at hospital bedsides, caring for their poorly children. The Ellis Lake Foundation is here to make those long, difficult days a little easier by providing hygiene packs and essential comforts. But we can only do this with your support.

There are so many ways you can get involved:


Host a Coffee Morning ☕

A simple cuppa and a slice of cake can go a long way. Gather friends, neighbours, or colleagues and turn your coffee break into vital support for families in hospital.


Take on a Challenge 🏃

Whether it’s the Great North Run, a colour run, or your own personal challenge, every step you take can make a huge difference. Lace up your trainers, set yourself a goal, and run (or walk!) to raise funds for Ellis Lake families.


Join a Fundraising Event 🎉

From quiz nights to charity auctions, family fun days to sponsored walks, there’s always something happening. Our events bring the community together while raising essential funds.


Create Your Own Fundraiser 💡

Got an idea? We’d love to hear it! From bake sales to sponsored silences, your creativity helps us reach more families in need.


Fancy the Great North Run – or the Great North Mini/Jnr?

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or taking part for the first time, this is your chance to challenge yourself and make a real difference for families with children in hospital. Every step you take helps us provide hygiene packs and essential comforts to parents during difficult times.

Take on the full Great North Run or let the little ones join the Mini/Jnr – everyone can be part of #TeamEllisLake!
