Flying Start for new charity that proves ‘We Love Manchester’
The We Love Manchester charity aims to build on the feel-good campaignwhich followed the August disorder. And leading bookie Fred Done helped kickstart the new fund for the city’s most needy groups with a generous six-figure cheque.
He handed over the cheque last night at a launch attended by some of Manchester’s most influential movers and shakers.
Thousands of public volunteers and city centre firms came together to clear up the chaos and get businesses back on their feet as part of the I Love Manchester campaign.
The success of the campaign has persuaded the Lord Mayor of Manchester’s Charity Appeal Trust to change its name.
Under the new banner, the charity – which raises money every year for good causes – will give residents a greater say on how the funds are used.
A launch event for We Love Manchester at the Museum of Science and Industry last night was hosted by TV news legend Gordon Burns.
Stars rubbed shoulders with store and hotel bosses, including managers the Co-op, who displayed a 15 storey banner on the side of the CIS building showing their support for the I Love MCR campaign.
They were entertained by Manchester musicians Swing Out Sister and Rowetta.
The Lord Mayor, Coun Harry Lyons, said: "Thousands of people have been helped by the charity and, as we move into this exciting new phase, I’m confident that even more will benefit from the generosity and civic pride of the people of this great city. This truly is Manchester’s charity, and supporting it is a great way that Mancunuians can help each other. What better way to reflect that than by using the now iconic We Love MCR imagery – it’s a perfect fit."
Chris Bird, chair of the charity’s fundraising committee, added: "We can now make a real difference in the city we all love."
The Lord Mayor of Manchester’s Charity Appeal Trust has been raising money for more than a decade.
Deputy leader of the council, Jim Battle, said there was an open invitation to anyone who had helped – from the army of volunteers who turned out to clean up the streets the morning after, to the uniformed officers who helped keep the city safe.
