Our "Charity Wednesdays'' have raised over £4,000 since we started in April and it is our intention to continue supporting local charities every month. So far we have donated to St. Ann's Hospice, Francis House Children's Hospice and Centrepoint Manchester.
This month's Charity is MIND MANCHESTER. Mind Manchester supports the mental wellbeing of Manchester people and is particularly relevant in the current crisis of Covid-19. Whilst always working to help people with mental health issues, MM are currently providing over 1,600 meals each week to people experiencing severe food poverty.
Please support our MCBA CHARITY WEDNESDAY ON 29TH JULY AT 10.30 AM (MINIMUM DONATION £10)
On 26th August our support will go to The Seashell Trust and 30th September The Nicky Alliance Day Centre.
If you have a favourite local charity you would like us to support please email me at joyblakey2020@gmail.com. We are proud to support our local charities - we need your help so please register and play every month in Charity Wednesday.
