Its been a tough year for everyone, with local communities across Greater Manchester being some of the hardest hit. This Christmas give your loved ones a gift that helps these communities when they need it most! 

Home to over 100,000 honey bees, The Printworks is offering a chance to adopt their very own Printworks bee in aid of Forever Manchester. For just £2 each, the newly adoptive parents will be able to name their bee and have their name(s) added to a commemorative digital wall on the Printworks website. 

The bee is an iconic symbol in Manchester so we wanted to give people the chance of adopting their own, whilst raising money for a special cause.

There is no limit to the number of bees you wish to adopt and it doesn't have to be just for your family, it can be on behalf of a friend or work colleague. Simply donate a minimum of £2 per bee and in the comments note what you wish to name the bee, along with the name of the adoptive parent(s) if not yourself.

We also have FOUR Queen Bees up for adoption at £25 per Queen. It is first-come-first-serve for the Queens so make sure they have a well-deserved name/title. As for the honey bees, I'm sure we have more than enough. So please help us raise money for Forever Manchester.
