Want the chance to win some incredible prizes while donating to a worthy local cause? Non-profit and social enterprise Eat Well MCR has launched their annual fundraising raffle in partnership with the Manchester Food and Drink Festival – and there are some incredible prizes up for grabs.

Eat Well MCR is a collective of Manchester-based chefs that provide meals to people living in challenging circumstances. The social enterprise was founded by Manchester chef and restaurateur Mary-Ellen McTague in April 2020 in response to the pandemic. Mary-Ellen McTague is joined on the board by arts and events producer Gemma Saunders, and marketing consultant Kathleen O’Connor, alongside Tampopo founder David Fox, Cloudwater’s Paul Jones, Honest Crust’s Rich Carver and Manchester International Festival co-founder and cultural powerhouse Christine Cort.
“We’re so grateful to the people that have donated prizes, it’s a brilliant list!” says Mary Ellen. “Eat Well MCR is self-funded, rather than government funded, so fundraising activities like the raffle are essential for our survival.”
Eat Well MCR partners with grassroots organisations, delivering meals to families experiencing homelessness, women taking refuge in sheltered accommodation, parents of children staying in hospital, food banks, and schools supporting families affected by food poverty.
They have now provided 70,000 meals across Greater Manchester and are now raising funds to hit the next milestone: 100,000 meals.
