Barton Athletic Club held a fundraiser for Salford4Good via a weightlifting competition in December 2022. Competitor fees were donated to Salford4Good as well as a fundraising raffle on the day. John Lightfoot, of Barton Athletic Club, said, “Salford4Good has helped our club in the past, they helped us to raise money to construct the building that our club is currently based in. We’re hoping to give back to the charity after they supported us. We’ve done charity events before but we haven’t been able to hold them for a long time as we had to put as much money as possible into our new building. Thanks to the support that Salford4Good gave us we’re glad to be raising money for charity again.”
