ONE MORE STEP. If you can, please get involved, and aim for just one more step (or even more!) than you managed last December - just check your watch or phone stepcount Apps or phone's own Health Apps.

This is the RedNews fanzine ninth annual charity event for Manchester Mind.

Thanks to all who have supported previously, and can this year. It is for a vital cause, close to our hearts, and minds.

IN 2023, the Editor walked just over 500,000 steps in December - this year he wants to beat that and make it at least 501,000 steps!

The sellers will contribute with their own targets to follow and we want, if you can to JOIN IN!

Just aim for one more average step than you managed last December. Good for you, for this campaign, and for all of us!

All you need to do is drop the Ed a line if you fancy doing this at feedback@rednews.co.uk - let us know your total steps count for December 2024, and then aim to beat that in December 2025 and let us know how you are doing and when you do it! We will then add all those involved into a total step count for this fundraiser - let's smash it high!

It runs throughout December 2025 and look out for specific matchday events, walks, and fundraisers - we can NOT collect cash but please donate here to this page if you can. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!

Each Christmas period we raise money for this vital charity - it's more important than ever that we all take care of ourselves, and our minds. If you are able to talk, please do, you can contact Manchester Mind direct - or please see us when we sell for a little chat. Just take care of yourselves Reds, please.

We will be selling in Santa hats for our home game against Bournemouth in December for a bit of fun and to raise awareness for our appeal. And the appeal will be open until New Year's Day to raise as much as we can.

Join in, donate if you can - but please just take care of yourselves!

This event is 100% unofficial.

Manchester Mind is an independent, local charity, which supports over 11,000 young people and adults each year. We believe that everyone deserves to be supported in their mental health and we want to make it easier to ask for help. Our charity values the commitment of our staff and volunteers, who work hard to ensure services are delivered in a way that enables people to feel heard and involved. Donations from fantastic supporters make a real difference, so thank you for ensuring we can continue to be there for the people of Manchester.
