Thinking about applying to the Movement Fund?🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️

To make things easier, we've pulled together a new 3-page guide containing the key information applicants need in one place.

The resource is designed to help organisations to understand:
• The aims of the fund
• Who can apply
• What can be funded
• Top tips for applicants
• How to apply, and who can help

If you work with local groups, clubs or organisations that are helping people move more, we'd love you to share this resource through your networks.

👉 Read the guide here:https://www.gmmoving.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Movement-Fund-Info-Aug-2026.pdf

Together, we can help more organisations access funding and create opportunities for people across Greater Manchester to be active.

When we hear the word 'safeguarding', many of us think of designated leads, policies or training.

👉 But safeguarding is everyone's role.

Every interaction, every programme and every decision contributes to whether people feel safe, welcome and supported to take part.

Read how we're helping to change the culture around safeguarding:
https://www.gmmoving.co.uk/partner-story/were-playing-our-part-to-change-the-culture-around-safeguarding/

Greater Manchester Moving believe safeguarding and welfare should sit at the centre of everything we do, because positive experiences of physical activity can only happen when people feel protected, respected and supported.

Summer is nearly here, and there’s more time for sport and enjoying being active. ☀️

This is a great chance to check in, and make sure your child is having a positive experience. One way to do this is to talk to your child's club directly - and this short video from the NSPCC shares 5 simple questions you can ask them:

Asking questions isn’t about challenging anyone. It’s about working together to keep sport:

- Fun
- Safe
- Right for your child

As a parent or carer, your input can make a big difference.
