Greater Manchester Moving is GM’s movement for movement working together to positively change the lives of people across Greater Manchester (GM) through physical activity and sport.
Greater Manchester Moving is GM’s movement for movement working together to positively change the lives of people across Greater Manchester (GM) through physical activity and sport. As people, communities and organisations, from every sector and place across the city region, pulling in the same direction, united by a shared passion and commitment for what we do, why we do it and how we do it.
Our shared mission is to enable active lives for all.
Our shared commitments, priorities and approach are set out in ‘GM Moving in Action’ our strategy for the next decade, 2021-31.
We are all designed to move. But our modern world is designed and organised to keep us sitting still.
Evidence shows us that physical activity and sport contributes to our physical wellbeing, mental wellbeing, social and community development, economic development and individual development. Moving more is key to enabling good lives for all.
By moving more, we can live happier and healthier lives, enable our communities, places and economy to thrive, and will contribute to a more sustainable city region.
Whether we walk, run, swim, cycle, play sport, garden or learn a new skill, it all counts.
We are not currently moving enough. Inactivity is killing us, it’s making us sick and unhappy, unproductive and stressed, and is contributing to environmental destruction and climate change.
