The Trafford Active Fund, run by Manchester Marathon organisers Human Race, is offering £42,000 in awards in early 2021. This amount is a significant record for the initiative, with the funds brought forward due to the urgent need to support community focused organisations impacted by the pandemic. Three organisations will each be gifted £14,000 to support the work they are doing in Greater Manchester (with a focus in trafford). Applications are open immediately, with a deadline of Monday 15th February.

Every runner who signs up to either the Manchester Marathon or Manchester Half contributes to the Trafford Active Fund, with Human Race giving £1 of each entry fee directly to the scheme. Many runners choose to donate even more to support the initiative. Click on the button below to apply to receive funding.
