Fundraise
We need your help. So please get involved. It’s for Manchester. It’s for our future.
Whether you want to take part in one of our events, organise your own event or take part in a local challenge event, we will support you every step of the way.
Every penny stays here in Manchester. Together we can support community groups and young people across the city, helping our great city be the best it can be.
Our Events
- We Love MCR Firewalk: 26th March 2020 – Exchange Square
The ultimate mind-over-matter challenge! Walk in bare feet over 500 degrees hot coals… You’ll receive an hour of training and motivation, before stepping out on this walk of a lifetime. Bring your friends to cheer you on, capture the moment on camera, and then we can all celebrate together at the after-party.

- BEE A Record Breaker: Great Mcr Run – Sunday 24th May 2020
This is our biggest fundraising event, so we want all our “Bees” to raise sponsorship for us. If 2,200 runners each raise £100, we will generate £220,000 for our good work!
The entry fee to the Great Mcr Run is £39. EXCLUSIVE OFFER! When you secure a place and set up an online sponsorship page favouring We Love MCR Charity – we will refund £25 of your fee into your bank account!
*To take part as a Bee, all you need are wings and antennae (simple to buy cheaply online, or try to DIY), plus a black-and-yellow top – get as creative as you like!
So – get fit in 2020, raise some cash for us, and secure your place in the Guinness Book Of Records! Don’t miss out on what will be one of Manchester’s finest days…
