A Bed Every Night Charity supports people who are sleeping rough or at risk of doing so. It is a cross-sector, pan-Greater Manchester service that comes with a clear philosophy that everyone should have somewhere safe to stay.

A Bed Every Night has supported more than 3,000 people and pioneered improved access to health and housing. It has contributed to a reduction in rough sleeping of 67% over four years.

To support funding for the charity, each year in Manchester, a 24 Hour run is held and particpants' miles are donated to raise much needed support for the charity and those it helps.

Each year, GoodGym Stockport lace up our trainers, switch our group run day to a Wednesday and run 5km to help to raise money and awareness of this local and worthy charity.

This year, running clubs from far and wide collaborated, both in person and virtually for this annual occasion.

We got out in the cold, brisk night and bagged a respectable 18km for the charity.

Same again next year!
