A team of 20 of our staff are taking on the challenge of Tough Mudder in order to raise funds for our chosen charity, the Wood Street Mission.

Wood Street Mission is a children’s charity helping children and families living on a low income in Manchester and Salford.

They provide practical help to help meet children’s day-to-day needs and improve their life chances. Through Family Basics they provide struggling families with children’s clothes, bedding and baby equipment, and toys and books which are important for children’s wellbeing and development.

They promote engagement in education by helping families with the costs of going to school through SmartStart and run holiday Book Clubs to promote reading and improve children’s literacy. They also provide toys for children to have presents on Christmas Day.

They also raise awareness about child poverty through our communications, holding events and giving talks at schools, businesses and groups.
