GM Active is a Community Interest Company limited by guarantee and a collaboration of 12 leisure and community organisations from across Greater Manchester.
We are all part of the same movement, to get more people physically active and improve the health & wellbeing of our communities, as part of the City-Region’s GM Moving in Action strategy.
Together the members manage the majority of the publicly owned leisure and physical activity assets and services on behalf of the 10 local authorities across Greater Manchester.
We see our partnerships as mutually beneficial relationships. By working with us to help people across Greater Manchester live healthy, happy, and longer lives your business or organisation will support us to deliver a lasting positive social impact, while we will help you to unlock benefits for your business or organisation.
We can assure you that no other partner will conflict in your business products or services provision. We will select our partnerships with care and offer category exclusivity, which means you will not share a platform with a company in the same sector. This approach will enable our partners to collaborate not only with us; but with each other.
Our vision is to help people across Greater Manchester live healthy, happy, and longer lives.
Now we are offering the opportunity for key organisations and businesses across the UK leisure, wellness and physical activity sector to share in our vision by becoming a GM Active Strategic Business Partner.
You will be partnering with a collective that is responsible for 99 leisure and sports facilities across Greater Manchester with a combined reach of over 20 million visits every year.
We deliver over 10,000 activity session a week, support over 15,000 people with long-term conditions into an active lifestyle each year, have over 225,000 people committed to regular exercise through our health and fitness memberships, and we support over 60,000 people to learn how to swim every year.
We provide safe places for children and young people to have fun and be active, support older adults and people with long-term conditions through social prescribing and physical activity interventions and improve community cohesion by engaging people of all ages and abilities in healthy and meaningful activities every day.
