About our initiative:

That chap up there is Bernard Newnham. Our desire to spread his life motto - "be nice to people" has take on a bit of a life of its own. See www.TeamBeNiceToPeople.org for more details. And, thank you so much for your donations.

We would love you to donate to this brilliant cause: Cancer Research. No amount is too small as every penny helps. You may have landed here because you are Bernie's family or friend, or you may know an amazing team member who is doing something challenging to encourage your donation - we are so grateful to them, and to you, for joining in.

Bernard Newnham was a husband to Pauline, a father to Charley, Ben and Robin, a brother to Stephen, Michael and Caroline, and a friend or colleague or teacher to many others. Outside of family life, he was a BBC television producer, a beekeeper, a light aircraft pilot, a lecturer, and founder of Tech-Ops.co.uk. He was the builder of a cobra car ("just for fun"), organiser of (BBC) Disorganised Lunches, and enjoyed his U3A endeavours. The photo above was taken almost exactly a year before he died aged 76, in August 2023, and cancer was a part of his end-of-life story...

Now, about the charity:

Cancer Research UK is the world's largest independent cancer research organisation. It conducts research using both its own staff and grant-funded researchers. It also provides information about cancer and runs campaigns aimed at raising awareness and influencing public policy.

The organisation's work is almost entirely funded by the public. It raises money through donations, legacies, community fundraising, and events.
