Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

An eager team of Alliance runners has signed up to take part in the Manchester 10km on 26th May, to help raise money for one of our chosen charities, Manchester Youth Zone.

On the starting line we'll have: Alex Russell | Will Openshaw | Dylan Williams | Fiona Thomas | Natalie Isherwood | Ben Sichan | David Savage | Kassim Bahsoon | Sam Heyes | Jo Kowaltschuk | Mahmoud Ali

They provide a safe place for young, underprivileged people in Manchester, helping inspire them through confidence-building activities with the goal to support the prospect of a brighter future. Alliance continues to support their work through various projects and events.

The Great Manchester Run always has a great atmosphere and hopefully the Manchester sunshine will appear, so we’d welcome as many of you to come and cheer the runners on at the Bank Holiday weekend, and importantly, support our fundraising campaign. It would be great if you could donate a small or large amount to encourage your friends, colleagues and family members in their challenge.

SOMEONE TO TALK TO. From relationships with Youth Workers on session, to one to one support from volunteer mentors – every voice is heard. There’s a real emphasis on offering young people positive role models and supporting their needs. A WORTHWHILE CAUSE Manchester Youth Zone is located in Harpurhey, the 2nd worst ward in England for the effect of long term deprivation on children, just outside Manchester city centre. Many in the surrounding area are vulnerable to poor educational attainment, future worklessness and to developing antisocial or offending behaviour.
