Story

Hey everyone!

We're lacing up our running shoes and hitting the pavement for a cause close to our hearts. Harry, Ryan B, Ryan H, Megan & Izzy are thrilled to be participating in the Manchester Half Marathon, and we invite you to join us on this journey in supporting our chosen charity, Mustard Tree.

About Mustard Tree:

Across Greater Manchester, Mustard Tree has been tirelessly combating and preventing poverty, inequality, and homelessness for over 30 years. Their approach goes beyond immediate assistance, providing opportunities for individuals to help themselves through practical support, life skills, and connections into work.

The need they address is not only longstanding but has taken on new dimensions. Monthly, Mustard Tree witnesses over 10,500 people seeking their support, with more than 5000 individuals relying on their Food Clubs for essential groceries. The charity also provides training to over 270 people every month, assisting Freedom Trainees in finding meaningful employment. However, a stark reality remains: each month, over 500 people register with Mustard Tree, accessing the charity for the first time.

Why Mustard Tree?

The scale of need in Greater Manchester is unprecedented and growing. Mustard Tree stands as a beacon of hope for those facing challenges, providing a lifeline for many individuals and families. The invaluable work they do directly impacts the community, offering vital resources and a pathway to a brighter future.
