Our chosen charity of the year is the Steve Burne Charitable Trust. The aim of The Trust is to raise money to support charities across Manchester. One of the main charities being The Ronald McDonald House, which is situated next door to The Manchester Children’s Hospital and provides free accommodation for 65 families with poorly children in hospital. This House keeps families together during what can be critical times.

The Trust also supports The Christie Hospital, which is the largest single site cancer centre in Europe and the first UK centre to be accredited as a comprehensive cancer centre. They treat more than 60,000 patients a year.
