The year is 1991. The UK is in the grip of an economic recession and about to have its coldest winter since the 80s. A Christian couple, Peter and Beryl, have just arrived in Manchester’s city centre to see a show. As they head to the theatre, they’re shocked to see the number of people sleeping rough under bridges and in shop doorways.

It is that festive time of year again when we look forward to celebrating with our friends and family. It is also a time when we should consider others that might not be looking forward to the festivities and cold winter months ahead. There are hundreds of homeless in Manchester and we want to launch a short appeal to raise money that will help reach some of those homeless at this time and provide the necessary shelter or help they need.

I'm raising money for Barnabus by running the Pennine Barrier 50 race - organised by GB Ultras - on 12th June 2021. It's 50 miles long with over 2500 metres of ascent so your support would be massively appreciated
I am giving up all things chocolate this Lent, just like I did in 2020, so that the money raised can go towards helping those that are homeless and don't have any food or shelter. Those of you that know me will understand how difficult this will be for me but I think it is worth it so that I can help those who need it. Please sponsor me if you can.

If you can get involved, any donation big or small would be greatly appreciated! #makingChristmasBeeta 🎄
