The Bank Holiday weekend got off to a fantastic start for thirty of our supporters on Saturday.

They helped raise over £3,000 for MedEquip4Kids when they were among 5,000 participants who went Gung-Ho! in Heaton Park and conquered a unique inflatable 5K fun run, with ten of the greatest inflatable obstacles ever designed.

Rain, hail and wind didn’t dampen everyone’s enthusiasm and determination to have as much fun as possible and complete the course to claim their very own Gung-Ho! t-shirt and headband. The finale, Europe’s biggest ever inflatable slide – the ‘Thriller’, never failed to make everyone scream with laughter on the way down.
Taking part and completing the course was just the start of the event day.  Music, delicious food and drink, and plenty of opportunities to take action shots, all provided a fun filled festival atmosphere throughout the day for spectators and competitors alike.

Thank you to everyone who took part and supported their friends and families in Manchester’s first ever Gung-Ho!

Roll on next year!

“This donation has enabled us to use more varied and useful therapeutic toys and games when working with children and young people with mental health difficulties, as well as using extra clinic rooms which are now more child-friendly. This has helped reduced anxiety about coming to CAMHS and meant that family therapy can be done. Both parents of a 10 year old boy can now attend with their 5 year old as the youngest child can play with our new resources in the waiting room or clinic space. The 10 year old benefited from therapeutic games about thoughts/feelings and we were also able to observe imaginative play for assessment.”
