“I ran my first ever 10k run for GMYN. I wanted to take on a new challenge and was proud to finish and raise funds for this amazing charity.”

We need your help!
Young people in Greater Manchester need your help more than ever. They rely on the generosity of GMYN’s friends and supporters. £10, £20 or even £50 – it all makes a huge difference and helps us to deliver our vital services.
How can you raise money for GMYN?
Take part in an event organised by GMYN
You could support us by taking on a fundraising challenge and achieving something you never would have done otherwise!
Turn miles into smiles: Join Team GMYN for a sponsored run such as the Great Manchester Run, Manchester Half or the Manchester Marathon. Every step makes a massive difference!
Join our 5-a-side tournament: Celebrate the World Cup 2026 by battling for our prestigious trophies, making memories with your teammates and networking with like-minded people this July.
Host your own fundraising event
GMYN could help you organise your own fundraising event.
We’ve previously helped supporters host sponsored walks, row-a-thons, raffles, quizzes, bake sales, padel tournaments and black-tie dinners.
We have banners, t-shirts and hoodies you can use to highlight the fantastic ways you’re supporting the young people at GMYN. We can also help to promote the event on social media and in our newsletter.
Let us know your idea and we will do everything we can to make your event happen!
Alternatively, you can make a donation.
Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference.
If you can make a large donation, here are some examples of how it could make a positive impact on the lives of young people:
- £500 could provide one young person with essential equipment to enable them to begin a new training course, access further education or work.
- £1000 could pay for 8 weekly football sessions which helps young people improve their health and emotional wellbeing.
- £2500 could pay for a 10-week employability course for 5-10 young people giving them the skills they need to engage in training and work opportunities.
- £5000 could support one young person for 3 years. This includes one-to-one support, social activities and skills development opportunities.
