For anyone who’s new to our spaces, The Wishing Tree is a campaign we run annually to support our chosen charity partners. Rather than buying specific gifts which aren’t always sustainable for all, we aim to raise money to ensure the charities are getting the most value from donations.

In Manchester we will be supporting Hideout Youth Zone, one arm of EMPOWER. At the youth zone, they have created a safe and inspiring place for thousands of young people aged 8 – 19, and up to 25 for those with additional needs, to enjoy their leisure time.

Located in Gorton the charity is dedicated to supporting young people by providing three things which all young people need and deserve – somewhere safe to go, something positive to do and someone trusted to talk to.

Find out how your donation will support Hideout Youth Zone:

£5 towards hot meals for the young people

£10 towards new activities and games for the young people to use during the Christmas holiday club and on other sessions

£15 towards new sport equipment or new equipment for their music room for the young people to use

£20 towards taking a group of young people on a trip during holiday club
