MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Inequalities play a role in increasing levels of inactivity, often resulting in heart disease, diabetes and other preventable health conditions that put further strain on the NHS. We understand that what people and communities often lack, is access to opportunities when it comes to physical activity and movement.
The City is working tirelessly to create inclusive environments, and break down both physical and perceived barriers, to allow everyone to participate, regardless of age, ability or background.
We must make Manchester Fairer.
With severe pressures on disposable income for many, it is imperative now, more than ever, that a clear pathway, offering localised free or low-cost provision and activities are prioritised to make sure no Mancunian is left out in the cold.
Our work with local providers and health services provides residents with the support and guidance they need to get started, delivering tailored exercise programs, education and support, and opportunities for social engagement. As we identify those most at risk early on, we can empower Mancunians to take control of their health and well-being, reduce the burden on health services, and widen their access to lead healthier and happier lifestyles.
We recognise that no one person or organisation holds all the levers to address these inequalities. We value the importance of working together to tackle existing gaps in access, opportunities and enjoyment in physical activity and movement.
Through committed collective action, we can, and will, make Manchester a fairer place for all.
