The Puffin Appeal has been setup by Dr Spencer to create a world-class childhood respiratory unit in the North of England and to care for youngsters with cystic fibrosis (CF), asthma and other lung diseases

Each year many children from as far away as Carlisle, Cleveland, Scotland and Ireland travel to Newcastle for specialist care. This demand from desperately ill children has stretched current resources to the limit

Bako Northern has held an annual golf event for the past 21 years and each year we choose a local charity to receive the money raised on the day. It was felt this year The Puffin Appeal was a deserved charity. Everyone who contributed, through purchasing raffle tickets, should feel proud to know that their money has gone towards improving conditions in the Children’s Respiratory unit as well as to help research into lung disease.

The Puffin Appeal has raised over £450,000 so far, but more is needed to reach a target of £2 million. Please follow the link below to find out how you can help them reach their goal
