The Greater Manchester Local Pilot, has been established since July 2018, and incorporates all 10 localities across the county. Its aim is to take a test and learn approach to overcome the barriers to inactivity, in a place, based on a set of 9 principles, which are:

  • There must be an identifiable need.
  • Builds on individual and community assets, to add value.
  • Engage key audiences and commit to co-design with public services and VCSE.
  • Take a Whole System Approach
  • Address Social and Health Inequalities
  • Embrace Innovation
  • Be part of a coherent plan for physical inactivity in a place
  • Committed to the GM and National Community of Learning
  • Distributed Leadership

Over the last 4 years, there has been a vast amount of learning developed, and we are now at a stage to look forwards and consider how we can embed these approaches going forwards. All localities have come together recently to initially discuss the value of working in this way over the last 4 years, and are in agreement that to move this process forwards we need to discuss what this looks like in each locality.

GreaterSport will work with our evaluation team to develop a set of questions, to structure each of these discussions to provide consistency across the 10 areas.

Aim: To facilitate and scribe10 conversations (one per locality), to identify how the Local Pilot approach can be embedded in each locality, and what support and resource they require.

Intended Outcomes:

  • Facilitate 10 conversations, capturing the minutes and actions from each meeting.
  • Utilise the set questions supplied by the evaluation team, to shape these discussions.
  • Allow all voices to be heard and ensure that everyone has equal opportunity to contribute to the discussion.
  • To have a record (including any actions) of all 10 conversations.
