GreaterSport on behalf of GM Moving partners have announced that they will be launching a youth-led campaign on physical activity and mental wellbeing.
The campaign is in response to the findings in the #BeeWell data. Only 1 in 3 young people in GM are currently meeting the recommended daily physical activity guidelines set by the Government’s Chief Medical Officer and this impacts on mental health and wellbeing. The campaign will work with partners from across Greater Manchester to recognise and celebrate the benefits of physical activity and increase engagement across the city region. The campaign will be designed and led by young people, to ensure the benefits of physical activity on young people’s mental wellbeing are advocated for in an inclusive, accessible, and exciting way in which young people will engage with and want to share with others. It will also give specific focus to girls, building on the #BeeWell findings uncovering the extent of the gender gap in physical activity coming out of the pandemic.
We are seeking to appoint a partner or consortium with a lead organisation to develop this youth-led campaign on physical activity and mental health to be delivered through the 2022-23 academic year (September 2022- September 2023). We expect this work to build on groups and networks already working with young people across Greater Manchester to ensure clear and concise narratives that will relate to young people are created.
All the information, including timescales and budget is in the document below.

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 spotlighting ‘connecting communities’ from its Uniting the Movement strategy, showing how place-based approaches get people active in new ways. This highlights GM Moving’s work and our partnership with 10GM supporting 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.
