We Love MCR Charity
Civic and Social Organizations
Manchester's own Charity. We empower our local communities and change the lives of ambitious young Mancunians - join us!
About us
Manchester has a proud history of solidarity - of standing up for those who need help. From Peterloo to the Pankhursts, our city gives a voice to the voiceless. We stick together here, too - we know the power of community and know that, as Mancunians, we have far more in common with each other than that which divides us. And the Manchester of today is no exception. We are a bright, vibrant, successful city - but there are still some people who need our faith and support. 4 in 10 of our young people live in poverty. 1 in 10 residents have no qualifications. So in true Mancunian style, we’re coming together to say - We Love Manchester. All of Manchester. The Lord Mayor of Manchester's Charity - We Love MCR is focused on supporting young people to gain the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to succeed. And supporting Manchester communities to celebrate their diversity and find common ground. All the money we raise stays here in Manchester - we are Manchester's charity. If you want to engage with your employees and customers and make a positive impact on communities and young people throughout the City of Manchester, then we would love to hear from you. The Lord Mayor of Manchester for 2022/23 is Councillor Donna Ludford.

This has been a real success story, with We Love MCR funding allowing England Netball and #Manchester City of Sanctuary UK to pull off a brilliant project centred around netball - we're buzzing BBC News came to a session and gave it some love for #InternationalWomensDay! ❤️
In Manchester, we deliver a Back to Netball programme in partnership with Manchester City of Sanctuary UK specifically for women who are refugees and asylum seekers. Whilst many of these women played netball in their home countries, for some it has been their first chance to try the sport. Funded by We Love MCR Charity, the sessions bring women together to learn a new skill, discuss their shared experiences and build a community, showcasing the power of netball to bring people together both on and beyond the court. The programme is a key part of the commitment in our Adventure Strategy to unlock the game for more communities to enjoy through pioneering partnerships that take the sport to new audiences. To mark International Women’s Day, BBC News visited the programme and captured the following report. #IWD2024 #Netball #BBCNews #Participation #PowerOfSport
