​Bring a Tin

​We're encouraging all event attendees to bring a tin of food to donate to Mustard Tree, a Manchester charity supporting people facing poverty and homelessness. It’s a small act that could make a big difference. Donations can also be made on the day.

​Let’s make doing good part of what we do - together, and let’s make kindness part of the culture.
