The team of five walked more than 18 miles on Sunday, September 8 from their travel agency at The Rock shopping centre to Manchester Airport.
The walk from north to south Manchester took the team eight and a half hours and raised £685 for Andy’s Man Club.
Andy’s Man Club is a men’s suicide prevention charity offering free-to-attend, peer-to-peer support groups across the United Kingdom and online.
Brian Wiggins, lead facilitator at Andy’s Man Club Bury, said: “Andy’s Man Club are so grateful to have been chosen as Hays Travel Bury’s designated charity for 2024.
“It’s great to have the support of such a great team as we continue to raise awareness and show men that it is indeed ‘okay to talk’.”
