Tour de Manc is a not for profit brand, which aims to raise significant funds for registered charities, whilst supporting cycling inclusivity (enabling para-cyclists, women cyclists, kids etc) and encouraging people to cycle for health benefits.
Tour de Manc has no employees and everything is done on a voluntary basis, with only necessary costs (such as event insurance, essential printing and materials manufacture) being deducted. There is no profiteering in any form and all surpluses are donated to registered charities.
Tour de Manc will enable fundraising through running cycling related events and accompanying programmes, such as fitness and skills programmes to get riders fit for the Tour de Manc sportive challenge. We think we have a very exciting roadmap, developed with the executive team at Tameside MBC and linking in with other organisations (e.g. ActiveTameside, Livewell, Greatersport, Wheels for All etc).
We aim to have over 45,000 participants in the next 5 years, from grassroots kids’ cycling and disabled inclusion rides to elite competitive events. Tour de Manc aim to work with other organisations (public and private) to achieve joint aims and are actively supported by Greater Manchester borough councils, TFGM, some significant corporates and several charities.

Background on the HaTS charity
Haematology and Transplant Support (HaTS) charity is a registered cancer patient support charity. It’s overriding objective is to provide and improve upon the support and care provided to patients and families undergoing treatment for blood cancers at the Haematology and Transplant Unit (HTU), situated in The Christie Hospital. Originally known as ALUPAL, the charity is celebrating 30 years of existence in 2016.
HaTS helps patients and their families overcome some of the day to day challenges they encounter when faced with life threatening illnesses and long periods of isolation. Whilst recognising the excellent clinical care and support provided by the HTU, HaTS also recognises that sometimes patients and their families need that little extra support which is often outside of the NHS resources.
The funds raised by HaTS are used to provide financial assistance to those patients and carers experiencing difficulties. The funds also help to improve the service provided on the unit, for example, providing complementary therapies to patients and carers alike. These therapies help with the physical and emotional effects experienced as a result of a cancer diagnosis. The charity pays for the little things, such as individual newspapers for patients in isolation and bigger items, such as specialist adjustable chairs.
