Due to guidance around Covid-19 we've unfortunately had to cancel all Moving Forces activities until further notice. This includes archery, climbing, yoga and the football sessions at Man City, Curzon Ashton and Rochdale. Some activities that run independently (Mick's Walking Group for example) may still be running, but please check with the session leader if you're in any doubt.
The launch event for the watersports sessions at Debdale on 4th April has also been cancelled.
Although we're confident that this is the best course of action to ensure people's safety, we're also aware that people will miss having the regular sessions to look forward to each week and there is a risk that increased isolation may affect people's physical and mental health.
With this in mind, we're working hard to develop ideas to keep veterans and their families active and connected during this tricky time. Keep your eyes on the Moving Forces social media channels for developments with this.
In the meantime, please look out for each other, keep talking online and on the phone and if you need help in any way, make sure you reach out to your fellow vets and families. We're all part of a fantastic community who I know will move heaven and earth to help their brothers and sisters in any way they can.
Thanks
The Moving Forces Team
Here's a strong example of GM Moving’s wider vision: creating positive movement experiences for everyone in Greater Manchester, rooted in community, equity, and joy.
Between July and September, Sport England is shining a spotlight on one of the five big issues in its Uniting the Movement strategy – a deeper exploration of ‘connecting communities’, and how place-based approaches can bring people together to get active in non-traditional settings and ways. This spotlight offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the work of GM Moving and its long-standing partnership with 10GM — a collaboration of Local Infrastructure Organisations (LIOs) that support Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) groups across Greater Manchester.
We’re thrilled to be part of one of the official Fan Zones in Piccadilly Gardens, bringing people together to celebrate across two exciting match weekends.
