Supporting the Community

The Manchester Marathon is a powerful moment for community spirit. Many runners take part to raise funds for charities that support important causes locally and nationally. At Zouk, community has always been central to what we do. We’re especially excited to welcome any runners taking part for charity and celebrate their achievement with a meal on us.

During Ramadan this March, we partnered with local charity Two Brews to donate 2,000 meals to help feed homeless people across the city. Supporting the community is something we’re passionate about, and the marathon is another great example of Manchester coming together for good.
