Cheerer (Great North Run - Sept 2019)

We are the RSPCA and it's our vision to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion. Our volunteers are incredible, they play an essential role in helping us carry out our important animal welfare work every day.

We are looking for enthusiastic supporters to cheer our runners around the hugely popular Great North Run on Sunday the 8th of September 2019. With over 57,000 runners on the course and 100 RSPCA runners we really need your help to shout words of encouragement and get them around the course!

Our cheer point is at mile 8 along John Reid Road near to the Perth Road junction - the nearest metro station Brockley Whins. We know from speaking to our supporters that the cheers they get on the day inspire and encourage them to cross the finish line - they couldn’t do it without you!

“It was really hard when I got to mile 20 of the London Marathon but the RSPCA cheer stand was at mile 25 and it gave me that last push to run and to finish it, it was really good.”

Main activities:

• Cheering on the RSPCA fundraisers taking part in challenge events
• Asking friends and family to join you cheering
