Cover 50 miles in January as we launch a year of challenges!

It’s nearly 2024 and it’s time for those new year resolutions, but this year, why not set yourself a challenge instead?

Join Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity in 2024 and become part of a collective mission to tackle homelessness and end the need for rough sleeping. Each month, we will launch a new challenge for you to get involved in, all while raising vital funds that can transform lives in Greater Manchester.

January’s challenge is to cover 50 miles!  

You can do your 50 miles however you want, break it down into little chunks…

·       Walk the dog an average of 2 ½ kilometre’s every day.

·       Run 5k 16 times.

·       Skip or hop everyday 250 times.

·       Swim 3,219 lengths of a 25-meter pool.

·       Take 29,333 flights of stairs, that’s a lot of stairs

For every challenge you join, we want you to get fundraising!

For the January challenge, you can link to our new JustGiving campaign, ‘50 miles in January’ and get started. Set a fundraising target and remember that for every £30 you raise, that will cover a night of accommodation in the pioneering scheme, A Bed Every Night. Now isn’t that worth your time and effort?

Try getting your friends, family, neighbours, or work colleagues to support you with donations or get them signed up and do it together. Get your phone out and make some great reels, do it together and get the kids involved. The most original and funny ones will be shared on our social media channels - remember to tag us and add #TeamGMMC.

Get creative and get your campaign started today! Click here to download your 50 mile tracker and a supporter asset to show on your socials. Don’t forget to get in touch and let us know you’ve taken on the challenge for January.
