As we launch an exciting new campaign for 2024, Patrick, our director, tells us more about what’s involved – and why every step you take could make such a huge difference to local people…

At this time of year, many of us are reflecting on what has gone by, and looking ahead to a shiny new year. We’re hopeful and positive, and keen to take steps towards a more positive future, both for ourselves and those closest to us, and in our wider communities too.

As many of you will know, this year’s Advent appeal focussed on the small changes people could make that would have a big impact on others, and we’ve been overwhelmed by the response. People from local schools, parishes, community groups, families, and individuals have all got behind it, sharing how they’ll #BeeThere for others and taking practical action to do just that.

We had such great feedback, especially around how people feel that despite the often overwhelming challenges facing the world right now, that they realise they can really make a difference by making small changes at a time.

Together, those small steps combined can make a huge difference.

We didn’t want to lose sight of that and our brand-new campaign for 2024 – Every Step – hopefully continues to inspire and encourage change, little by little.

This year, we’re asking people to consider taking on a challenge in aid of Caritas Salford.

It can be anything you want it to be – anything that pushes you out of your comfort zone.

From running or sponsored walks, to baking challenges or quiz-athons, we’re keen for you to come up with whatever you feel is right for you! Whether a physical or mental challenge, every step you take towards completing it, will make a big difference to the lives of the local people we support who are facing acute crisis right now.

We’d love you to take part, and it’s incredibly simple. The timing, the challenge, how you raise funds…it’s all up to you.

Why not visit the Every Step section of our website now and sign up for our Great Manchester Run or Manchester Half Marathon team? Perhaps you’d prefer a run in Heaton Park or Blackburn? Or if running is not your thing, maybe you could pledge to walk a set distance through January (or February, or March…)? Perhaps you prefer a sponsored silence after the hustle and bustle of Christmas? Whatever you choose, we’re here to support you every step of the way…

Thanks so much for all your ongoing support for our work. It’s really appreciated. The steps we take alongside people as we accompany them on their journey to transform their life with dignity is something we’re really proud of, but we can only do it thanks to people like you.

Thank you for supporting our charity in 2024. We’re hugely grateful.
