Building activity in Manchester

Manchester is active because people like you make it happen. If you run a club, work with an organisation, or volunteer, you help our city stay healthy. Real change happens when people open clubs, partner with schools, or volunteer their time. You do not need a big budget or fancy buildings, just a strong purpose and a way to connect.

We help you reach people in Manchester who want to be active. We give you tools to grow your group and celebrate your success. Every activity, event, and person who gets moving helps strengthen our community.

Join us today. Share your activities, volunteer your time, or partner with schools. Work with us to build a healthier Manchester. Together, we can inspire Manchester to get active.

Providers Portal

Showcase your activities to thousands of Manchester residents.

The Portal makes it simple to add, manage and promote sessions, helping more people discover and join your activities.

Ease of access and choice is imperative to increasing physical activity levels across Manchester, so we have created an online platform that acts as the home for all activity providers to advertise and promote their opportunities online.
