GM Moving and Sport England extend partnership

Sport England has renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GM Moving, the active partnership for the region. An updated MoU between the two organisations, which outlines a refreshed commitment to “tackle health inequalities through movement”, was signed during a celebratory event at Leigh Sports Village. The MoU was first signed in 2016 and last refreshed in 2019.

Over the last decade, communities, organisations and institutions in Greater Manchester have worked together under the GM Moving umbrella, described as a ‘movement for movement’.

Sport England CEO, Tim Hollingsworth, said: “The evident positive progress made across Greater Manchester is testament to working in partnership towards one shared goal: a more active city-region.”
