We are going to conduct a week of Sponsored Walks in support of Manchester Foundation Trust Charity. We want to give something back to our host employer for supporting our progress into employment.

The charity raises funds for MFT, which includes 10 hospitals providing a full range of hospital services to 850,000 people across Manchester, Trafford and beyond. This charity makes a difference for the people MFT treat – young and old – by making sure that they receive the very best treatment in the very best facilities.

Supporting this charity will:

• Enable the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment for diagnosis and treatment

• Fund pioneering medical research to improve our understanding of illnesses and how best to treat them

• Create welcoming, friendly environments that allow patients, and their families, to feel at ease during their time in our care.

We aim to collectively walk the equivalent of Manchester to Land’s End. We will count our steps and use our Functional Skills Mathematics to convert measurements and calculate donations. This will include a special group healthy living walk at Heaton Park on National Supported Internship Day, Thursday 27th March 2025.
