🏃‍♂️ A month on. And Stu is still making moves. 🏃‍♂️

It’s been a month since our brilliant Stuart took on the Great North Run 2026 running 13.1 miles to raise money for Side By Side Arts music scholarships. 🎶🙌

He crossed that finish line. He smashed the challenge. And now we’re celebrating what that fundraising can help make possible. ❤️

Every pound raised helps more young people access music, performance and creative opportunities through our scholarship programme.

And if you missed it the first time around, there’s still time to donate. 👀

Whether it’s £5, £10 or whatever you can spare, every contribution helps.

A huge belated WELL DONE, STU! 👏
