Birtwistles choose 2 local charities each year that we raise funds for all year. This year we are raising funds for the North West Air Ambulance & 42nd Street.

16 members of staff are running the Manchester 10k on 19 May 2019 and hoping to raise £1000 towards our year end goal of £12,000, which will be split equally between our 2 charities.

The North West Air Ambulance has 3 helicopters based around the region with our local one based just down the road at Barton. Every year the Air Ambulance attends over 2,000 missions. It costs £9 to fund every minute of a mission.

42nd Street is a Greater Manchester charity that supports young people aged 11-25 years with their emotional wellbeing and mental health, promoting choice and creativity. They champion young person centred approaches that demonstrate local impact and have national significance.
