A grassroots fitness challenge with a heart is coming to Leigh this summer, as House of Grit & Glory hosts Leigh’s Strongest — a community-based Strongman and Strongwoman event raising funds for The Brick.
Taking place on August 10, the event welcomes competitors of all fitness levels and backgrounds. Entry is £10 per participant, with all proceeds going directly to The Brick’s vital work tackling poverty, housing instability, and hardship in the region.

From crowd-pleasing events like tyre flips to the community food stalls and music, the day promises to combine grit, strength, and giving back.
“We’re proud to stand with The Brick to make real, positive change through local action,” said Michael from House of Grit & Glory. “This event is a celebration of the strength found not just in lifting weights — but in lifting up one another.”
Keely Dalfen, CEO of The Brick, said: “We’re incredibly grateful for this partnership. It’s events like these that remind us how powerful our communities are when they come together with purpose and compassion.”
