Quite simply, your donation will have a huge impact on some of the people who most need help whilst allowing a fantastic organisation to keep up the good work they've been doing since 1870.

The Together Trust is an incredible organisation that supports over 2,000 vulnerable young people and adults with disabilities, complex needs and autism. Their mission is simple: to offer an equal chance in life. They will offer support for any individual's needs, with no exceptions, even if that means creating an entirely new service to ensure they can improve that person's life.

Like the Trust, we believe everyone should experience joy, happiness and hope in their lives. Insight Manchester are therefore supporting the Trust throughout 2018 with a range of charitable activities - in this instance, a few of us are putting ourselves through the Manchester 10k despite not all being fans of running!

The Trust provides services that genuinely make our region a better place for so many people: residential homes for children offering emergency, crisis and medium to long-term placements, short breaks and community support. They also operate a fostering service which includes regular support and a free annual holiday for all foster families.

The Together Trust also offers some of the best specialist education services in the North West, operating special schools, a further education college and centres supporting those who cannot attend mainstream schools.  As if all this wasn't enough their team of employees and volunteers also offer training, consultancy and support services for parents and carers.

Please give generously and help to support the great work of the Trust. You'll also be getting to make us suffer too!
