Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity is supported by the I Love MCR Foundation and championed at the I Love MCR Power Awards
Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity raises funds to support homelessness initiatives across the city region and give out grants to good causes.
Nobody in our city region should be without a safe, secure place to call home. Yet in this complex and unjust climate, there are many for whom this is simply out of reach. It isn’t right. Not anywhere, but certainly not here.
One of the biggest initiatives we support is A Bed Every Night (ABEN) – launched in autumn 2018, ABEN was set up by the Mayor as a humanitarian response to the rough sleeping crisis.
A Bed Every Night is built on the principle that no one should be excluded from support and forced to sleep on the streets. In 2021/22 we funded 21,900 nights’ accommodation and with your support we can continue to fund this innovative and vital initiative.
To be completed: 27/06 – 10/07
For the first part of the challenge the chosen champion will do a ‘warm up’ ahead of the big event and each day over 10 days will come up with a physical challenge connected to the number 10 – whether that’s walking or cycling 10km, tackling 10 machines at the gym or 10 star jumps for 10 mins every hour!
For the next part of the challenge the contestant will take to their bike to encircle the place we call home – Greater Manchester. Taking in all the ten boroughs, and hitting landmarks in each of the ten town centres (selfies a must!) this 100km+ challenge will really test the limits!
*The challenger is encouraged to spread the word about the challenge to their networks, fundraise and encourage people to donate, however, I Love MCR will be promoting the initiative and helping to gather donations.
