Across Greater Manchester, Mustard Tree combats and prevents poverty, inequality, and homelessness.

They provide opportunities for people to help themselves through practical support, life skills and connections into work. We have done this for over 30 years.

But despite all their work, they have no choice but to support more and more people.

They now they see over 11,000 people a month.

So I'm running the Manchester Marathon for this Manchester charity, to help them help our community.
