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.

“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 a challenge or fundraising event
You could support us by taking on a fundraising challenge and achieving something you never would have done otherwise!
- Why not turn miles into smiles by joining #TeamGMYN’s incredible team of runners for the Great Manchester Run in May or the Manchester Half in October?
- Alternatively, you could battle it out in our 5-a-side football tournaments for a chance of becoming GMYN Westwood Cup champions in April and September!
Host a fundraising event.
You could host your own fundraising event.
Previously we’ve helped our supporters organise sponsored walks, rows, pub quizzes 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.
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.
