Communities improve their greenspaces to support more walking and wheeling Our Environmental Improvements Fund supports community organisations to enhance local greenspaces to encourage more walking and wheeling (e.g. using a wheelchair/mobility aid or pushing a pram).

It’s been great to see the impact that the Environmental Improvements Fund has made this year. 🚶🦽

Underneath is the Greater Manchester Moving logo.

So pleased to see this brilliant write up from Sporting Equals. They've captured the spirit of our conference, and the powerful conversations we had about community, #Representation and shared purpose.

We had 15-20 play today, here we are huddled in a circle to show off our shoes, soon after this we did the hokey cokey to complete the ice warmer. I then dispatched everyone off in different directions with a bingo card of sensory cues and feelings, and asked that everyone sends us a postcard from the drift that would create a collaborative artwork for the event.

You put your right leg in…. Thanks to everyone who played #DriftBingo today at #GMMovingConference2025. We’re looking forward to seeing your postcards from the drift. 📸 Salford Quays May25 #GMMoving #Footwear #WalkingForWellbeing #CreativeCommunity #PureCuriosity #TheValeArts #ActiveLivesForAll

New #BeeWell data shows barriers like PE kit concerns and lack of free activities are widening the gender gap in youth physical activity across GM.

We're turning these insights into action to make moving more inclusive.
