How your fundraising helps

Shout is the only free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging support service for anyone in the UK struggling to cope. Every 60 seconds, someone reaches out to us in distress.

By running the Manchester Marathon and raising £450 for Shout, you could help us to support 45 children, young people and adults in their moment of crisis.

That support could be life-saving.

Get started

My volunteer listened to my worries and gave me the space to go through things. It was helpful to try to focus. She was kind to me when i wasn't feeling kind to myself.
