Hi Carl,
May was an exciting month for Forever Manchester as we welcomed three new business supporters and saw some fantastic fundraising taking place. This included 182 people running on our behalf in the Great Manchester 10k and raising a record-breaking amount!
We are pleased to announce that The CDL Fund is now open for applications for groups based in the borough of Stockport. On Monday 5th June we will also be announcing a brand new Fund for groups across Greater Manchester.
Plus, we've put together a handy guide to provide you with all of the inspiration and information for taking part in your very own summer fundraiser.
Not to forget the £500 up for grabs in Captain Manchester's Magical Tombola June Draw. With tickets only £5, it's the easiest way to show your support for Forever Manchester.
Thanks for your continued support. |

Since last September we have provided £14,412 of funding to support 17 community groups in South Trafford and its adjacent areas via the Full Circle Funerals Partners Altrincham Fund.
The Full Circle Funerals Partners Altrincham Fund aims to encourage and support grassroots community organisations. This means small, community-based and locally controlled groups that manage themselves, encourage people to get involved as volunteers and who just need a bit of financial help to be able to work with their community in the way they’d like.
