On Wednesday 17th September, BW3 held our Fire Engine Pull at the Runway Visitors Park – and what an amazing evening it was!
With the support of our brilliant business members, schools, and the local community, the event raised an incredible £7,273 (and counting – donations are still coming in until the end of the month). Every pound raised helps BW3 continue our work delivering mentoring, workplace opportunities, maths-based fun activities, and initiatives that support school attendance and help young people in Wythenshawe become work-ready.
