A team of the Vardags' Manchester office are completing the AJ Bell Great Manchester 10km run on Sunday 18 May 2025. We are raising money for Shines Children Uganda (www.shinesuk.org).

This charity strives to alleviate poverty in a small area in western Uganda. Among various other initiatives, the charity has built and runs a primary school that educates about 330 pupils, and holds an annual medical camp each October during which all who attend receive free medical attention from volunteer doctors, nurses, midwives and other healthcare professionals – last year the camp treated over 1,500 people over two days.

Team Manchester (Reece Johnson, Gareth Curtis, Alice Stopford, Nikki Corrie, Claire Dowdall, Ciara Florey, Evie Cannon, Ella Perry) would be very grateful for any donations to a great cause!
