Crazy hair days, horse rides, baths in pink custard .... you've done it all for charity in South Tyneside!
The people of South Tyneside have come up with some fantastic ways of raising money over the years.
We looked into the Gazette archives to find photos of people putting themselves out to help others.
Did you dress as a super hero, spend a day with crazy hair or try a horse ride for charity?
We have those scenes and many more for you to enjoy.
Here are nine of the great ways you have gathered in money in times gone by.
