Shine is almost entirely funded by the generosity of the general public. Our balloon races make a significant contribution to our funds every year. By entering a balloon in the 7th June race, you are helping us to continue to provide the vital services our members urgently need, thank you. 

The race ends on the 14th June. On this day we are also encouraging our supporters to ‘Go Yellow’ for Shine to increase awareness and raise vital funds to support the Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida communities.

Schools, workplaces and community groups across the country will be wearing a yellow item of clothing, dying their hair yellow, hosting yellow themed bake sales and lots of other creative ideas using the colour yellow.
