Matt Bowmaker from the Alan Shearer Foundation highlighted the importance of these contributions, stating: "Every penny raised goes directly to the Alan Shearer Centre, a highly-specialist resource for people living with diverse abilities and needs. The collaboration between Agilico and the Alan Shearer Foundation embodies the very essence of the values of giving and community, and was an exciting and uplifting experience for all involved.”

The Alan Shearer Foundation has received a substantial boost, with £23,500 raised by workplace technology specialist Agilico during the Great North Run.

The funds will support the Foundation’s work in providing vital facilities and therapies for people with diverse abilities and acute sensory impairments.

Agilico, which took all 35 charity places for the run, saw participants from across its UK sites lace up their trainers for the world’s largest half marathon. The funds will help maintain free access to the Alan Shearer Centre’s hydrotherapy pool, sensory rooms, therapy sessions, and more.

Former England captain and Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer expressed his gratitude, saying, “We are delighted with the amount raised by the Agilico team. Their support is greatly appreciated and will make a real difference to the lives of the people who use our facilities.”

Agilico’s North Director, Warren Colby, echoed the importance of the cause, while Jennifer Bartley from The Great Run Company highlighted the event’s celebration of community spirit, which has become synonymous with charitable giving.
