In Loving Memory of Sir Howard Bernstein

Today marks one year since the passing of our remarkable ambassador, Sir Howard Bernstein. As we reflect on this solemn anniversary, We Love MCR Charity pauses to honour not only the immense loss felt across our city, but also the enduring legacy he left behind.

Sir Howard’s unwavering passion for Manchester continues to inspire our mission. Through the Manchester Rising Stars Fund, we remain dedicated to supporting the city’s young people—helping them overcome adversity and realise their full potential.

"Since 2019, We Love MCR has awarded nearly £450,000 to 315 exceptional young Mancunians. These aren’t just statistics—they represent aspirations reignited, opportunities unlocked, and lives forever changed.

On this poignant day, we celebrate Sir Howard’s lasting influence, and we extend our heartfelt thoughts and support to his family and friends"

The Lord Mayor of Manchester
