Malhotra Group to support Children’s Cancer North
Malhotra Group has chosen Children’s Cancer North as its nominated charity for 2026.
A north east hospitality business has committed to a year-long fundraising drive to support children with cancer in the north east and Cumbria.
Former National Pub & Bar Awards winner Malhotra Group has chosen the Newcastle-based Children’s Cancer North as its nominated charity for 2026.
Children’s Cancer North is an independent charity which supports individuals and families affected by childhood cancer. The charity also invests in pioneering research and works to raise awareness of children's cancer.
To raise money for the charity, Malhotra Group plans to introduce a raft of initiatives, including a cocktail battle between staff at Gosforth’s Three Mile and The Runhead at Ryton.
The Runhead is also planning a 24-hour sponsored bikeathon in February with a Big Fat Quiz set to take place at Three Mile in March, when all team admission money will be donated to the charity.
Malhotra Group staff will then volunteer at the Children’s Cancer Run on 17 May and the group will also be entering a five-strong team in the Great North Run later this year.
“As a parent myself I can’t imagine how it must feel when a child gets a cancer diagnosis,” says operations director Atul Malhotra, pictured with Tiago Santos from Children’s Cancer North. “It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. But Children’s Cancer North is there to help – with financial and practical support and by actually investing in state-of-the-art research into kinder treatments – and they must be an absolute lifeline to parents in their darkest hours."
Existing charitable initiatives such as an additional £1 donation to charity on customers’ bills and a nominated charity dish at each leisure venue will also remain in place.
