Thank you!

Now in it’s eighth year, the Human Appeal ‘Wrap Up’ campaign supports the UK’s most vulnerable communities.

With your help, the Staff Association were able to collect over 40 coats that will go towards providing a little warmth for those in need in Greater Manchester this winter, including the homeless, refugees, domestic violence victims and low-income families. 

Thank you to all those who donated.
