Quayside MediaCityUK get many requests throughout the year to support different charities within Salford and Manchester and, although it’s a fantastic to have the opportunity to assist community projects, there are so many worthwhile causes it can be difficult to support them all.
To ensure that we are giving generously and genuinely making a difference within the local community, we have decided to pool our efforts and have one chosen charity for the year. Francis House Children’s Hospice has been chosen as our nominated local Charity of the Year for 2020, and provides appropriate respite and end of life care for children and young people with life limiting illness and the necessary support and short term care for their families.
