Fundraising

Fundraising is the perfect way to help GMYN provide the vital support that ensures #YoungPeopleCan.

GMYN relies on the hard work and determination of our fundraisers. Your support will help us to provide opportunities which could be transformational for young people in Greater Manchester facing significant challenges in life.

Read on to find out more about how you can raise funds for GMYN.

“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.”

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.

If you would like more information on how to support GMYN, call us on 0161 234 2950 and ask to speak with our Income and Partnerships Lead, Phil Harris. Alternatively, you can reach us by email at [email protected].
