Our Vision
A society that values the diversity, creativity and citizenship of people with learning disabilities and autistic people.
Team Twisting Ducks raised an incredible £3,099 by taking part in the AJ Bell Great North Run 2025, more than double our original target of £1,400! Seven fantastic runners, Cat, Michael, Sonia, Ailsa, Conor, Nigel and Sarah-Jane, took on the challenge, each with a fundraising target of £200. Together, they went above and beyond, showing just how much support there is for The Twisting Ducks’ work. Every pound raised will support our work across Tyne and Wear and Northumberland, helping people with a learning disability and autistic people to express themselves creatively, develop skills and social connections, and achieve aspirations as performers, musicians and DJs. Lisa, Trustee and member of The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company, said: “I want to say the biggest thank you and well done to all runners who took part in the Great North Run - you all made difference.”
