This October, the Co-operative Bank Finance team will be Staying Active by undertaking a challenge to circumnavigate our home - Manchester - as many times as we can, on foot or by bike to raise money for a fantastic cause.

The Stay Up : Stay Active initiative raises money to help challenge the story for thousands of homeless 16-25 year loads in the UK.  110,000 young people experience homelessness every year and the effects can be devastating.

The Co-operative Bank's main charity partner, Centrepoint, supports young people to recover their health and find a job and home of their own.  Their approach works and 88% of those they work with leave Centrepoint positively.

If you feel able to support we'd be grateful for a donation, no matter how small.
