Our charity work
Here at MBL we are committed to giving something back and support a number of charities through fundraising and volunteering. Take a look at some of our recent efforts.
Action Medical Research
This September, our very own Ben Houghton and Paul Jackson will be taking on Race the Sun Lake District Keswick Off-Road in aid of Action Medical Research, a charity that funds vital research to help defeat the diseases that devastate the lives of sick and disabled babies, children, and young people.
Over the next few weeks we will be sharing their training journey on our LinkedIn page with the hopes of raising awareness and funds for this wonderful charity and the work they do.

St. Ann’s Hospice
MBL employees regularly visit the Little Hulton site of St. Ann’s Hospice to volunteer and give a helping hand with garden maintenance. There is always lots to be done including painting garden furniture, tidying up the flower beds, and weeding.
Red Cross Appeal
Supporting local causes means a lot to our team. In the wake of the Manchester Arena bombing, MBL employees raised £173 with a cake sale, and all proceeds were donated to the Red Cross Manchester Appeal
10k Midnight Walk
Members of the MBL team joined more than 1,000 walkers for the Manchester Midnight Walk in aid of St. Ann’s Hospice. The 10k route saw our team starting at Manchester cathedral, and walking past some of Manchester’s most famous landmarks, including Old Granada Studios, Spinningfields, and the Northern Quarter. Thanks to the kind generosity of our donators, a grand total of £3779.89 was raised!
Quiz Night
We regularly hold a quiz night at the Worsley Park Marriott Hotel & Country Club to raise money for St Ann's Hospice. To date, dozens of our clients have joined in to help us raise over £10,000.
Macmillan Cancer Support
We love putting our baking skills to the test and raising money for a worthwhile cause by taking part in the annual Macmillan Coffee Morning. Here’s a few of our ‘Star Bakes’ from recent years.
Christmas Jumper Day
Every year we dig out our finest festive jumpers to raise money for Save the Children. Last year we raised a record £1,230 and are looking forward to more creative ensembles this year.
Home-Start
Home-Start is a local community network of trained volunteers helping families with young children through challenging times. MBL partnered with Home-Start Trafford, Salford and Wigan to develop online training modules for volunteers and now provide ongoing support and updates.
