StreetGames:
We are doing this all in order to raise money for StreetGames which is a charity who shares very similar values to the club mainly due to promoting sports and inclusivity. StreetGames is a local charity to Manchester which harnesses the power of sport to create positive change in the lives of disadvantaged young people right across the UK. StreetGames' work helps to make young people and their communities healthier, safer and more successful.
