In this short bonus episode we learn all about the Gratitude Games which is a new event for the emergency services taking place in Manchester in June 2026.
Catherine Levin went to the launch early in November to talk to the founders and the emergency services who are supporting it. She finds great enthusiasm for using sport to bring people together, to have conversations about the mental health of those on the frontline while raising money for six great causes.
