Was great to be part of the #GMMovingConference again! A privilege to meet and be on a panel with Khadija, Finn & Shannon - so much wisdom on tackling inequalities through sport. Big thanks to @hayleylever.bsky.social and the @gmmoving.co.uk team for creating this space to connect, learn & share

Pleasure to be part of the @gmmoving.co.uk conference again at @thelowry.com this morning

Today Cllr Olly Baskerville & I joined hundreds of delegates at the annual @gmmoving.co.uk conference. Improving access to walking, wheeling & cycling opportunities is one of our priorities at Trafford Council & it was good to see our Beat the Street initiative celebrated too 🙌🏻

Thanks to everyone who joined us at GM Moving Conference 2025. Your energy and ideas made it a day of celebration and action. We’ll share slides and photos soon — but for now, what did you take away? What changed for you as a result of joining us today? Let us know. #GMMoving #ActiveLivesForAll

#Prehab4Cancer is doing a fantastic job in getting people ready for their cancer treatment in GM. Clearly, that cannot be the end of patients' physical activity journey. New review shows that moving more reduces the negative impact of cancer treatment👇 @gmmoving.co.uk

Innovative research ✔️ Inclusive approach ✔️ Girls leading the way ✔️ “We’re flipping the script on what we presume girls want from PE, with girls' voices and choices allowing them to lead the way” @thisgirlcanuk.bsky.social www.sportengland.org/news-and-ins... #ThisGirlCan #YouthVoice

New #BeeWell data shows barriers like PE kit concerns and lack of free activities are widening the gender gap in youth physical activity across GM. We're turning these insights into action to make moving more inclusive. www.gmmoving.co.uk/news/young-p... #ActiveLivesForAll @beewelluk.bsky.social
