Good to have our #MoveMoreFeelBetter meeting at @OldhamActive today on #NationalFitnessDay
Reflecting on some of the progress made over the last six months, and a chance to visit the Health & Wellbeing event with lots of great #Oldham organisations who support our residents

We need to stop people using the NHS at the rate they do, and improve our national health. Opportunity for @wesstreeting @lisanandy to put sport and physical activity at the centre of the Govts prevention first health system #FitnessDay ukactive.com/news/government…

A call to our sector from our CEO, @tphollingsworth.
ALT Over the past week we have seen a number of violent, racially motivated protests take place in towns and cities across England. At this time, all leaders across our communities have a duty to do what we can to help and restore calm. This is definitely the case for us - sport and physical activity is uniquely placed to bring people together and unify us. It can and should be a positive force for good in these distressing and troubled times. As a sector I urge us all to do what we can to support our communities, our grassroots, and create the cohesion and togetherness we know sport delivers for people across England everyday. If you haven't already, please do consider how you, your members or networks can come out against this violence, restate your commitment to tackling racism across sport and amplify the call for calm in your communities.

A fab article outlining what is needed to support more young people across GM. I will contiue to advocate that BeeWell data is 'gold dust' to guide all our work and ensure we are listening to young people.Reading this reminds me of why i do my role and what is possible #GMMoving
Listening to young people: Labour’s victory and the role of wellbeing data in delivering manifesto promises.
Large-scale, granular data will be instrumental in achieving the new government's manifesto commitments on young people’s wellbeing.

Feeling hopeful after a morning at @WMinsightUK conference on Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls.
Great to hear from brilliant line up of speakers. Common themes around mainstreaming whole-system, victim centred approaches, to include investing in and working with community-based orgs of all sizes.
A joy as ever to share the brilliant work of #RightToTheStreets partnership led by @GMMoving in Greater Manchester to illustrate the potential for change for safe, welcoming & joyful streets, parks & public spaces.
Together we can shift the dial from fear to freedom.

And explored how practitioners can enrich their own work by embedding community power.

Thank you to @Badminton England for granting us £10,000 to run four pilot projects across GM to try and attract new audiences into the sport. Badminton is a truly inclusive sport accessible and enjoyable for anyone and everyone. It’s good for physical and mental health too!

Very important reframing here. Absolutely negligent to blame physical activity trends on 'laziness', especially when there is such a strong correlation with socio-economic status.

🙏 for the opportunity to join the panel & share our experience of working with @GMMoving on accessing the @Sport_England Together Fund & how it enabled collaborative working in #Stockport with @stockportmind @UpwardFrog
Great event

@GMMoving Together Fund asked communities to define the outcomes they wanted to see - communities designing for community impact.

Research shows that not enough children are having good experiences – and it’s holding them back from playing, exercising and enjoying sports.
The Children’s Coaching Collaborative believe that child-first coaches are the key to unlocking those positive experiences – and transforming children and young people’s lives for good.
